Not sure there is tbh. You need software of some sort that will operate the pump.

Thought so. Just read your How To.....I guess I should really find out how to get INPA and some oldish laptop to run it on.....

Pretty straightforward. You buy the cable for about £50, then the software can be downloaded for free.
I'm not IT savvy at all and hit some issues with some of the files.
Luckily street kindly connected remotely to my laptop and sorted it all out for me.

I've opened a separate 'Help' thread in the hope someone can do me a simple 'how to',

Sorry I would have done this for you but have been away but see that Street has helped you out so all good

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Project Spa. A little bit of a prima donna on start up, but otherwise proudly bearing a full MOT with not a single advisory.
I am well chuffed.

Just catching up on this previous comment. Bimmertools have had legal action taken against them so they can no longer supply the software for free!

Great result

All I need now is for Pompey to wrap up the League One title tonight and it'll be a perfect couple of days.

You gone all Chinese on me now, no idea what you are talking about but having heard the Norfolky language recently I am sure it means something

Absolutely amazing result but never in doubt! Thanks again Martin, you have been fantastic. Can’t wait to meet you next week and pick up my first Z! Spa here I come!

For anyone who's read this far........thank you........... and I have had a thought you could maybe help with:
I am going to put the remaining 1/2 litre of oil in the boot for Mark, along with a couple of spare coils (which will also fit his mate's 2.0 if needed)
Anything else you can think of that may be worth taking?
And does anyone have any useful spares they'd maybe donate to the cause? Both for a 2.5si (N52) and a 2.0 (N46).

That's great news Martin.

But not surprising given how many Z4s you've sorted out now.

After a couple of pheasant strikes I added a carrier bag, gloves, gaffa tape and cable ties to my emergency boot kit! If the car doesn't have run-flats Tyre Weld or similar and a compressor might be a good plan, or possibly even a full size spare, jack and wheelbrace as it would fit either Z4.

I'm sure there are plenty of other things I've overlooked.

Well done Martin!

You have more patience (and mechanical skills) than I will ever have.
I would have told the owner to 'come and pick up the POS cos it's knackered' long ago!

I would have done this one for free as it’s been such a learning curve for me and hopefully encouraged others too.
