Friend/customer saw a Zed, wanted advice whether to buy........asked if they are reliable :) Bit like like asking, i'm going to marry this girl....what do you think....when you know her history.. Well i said if you are into DIY fixing be OK. If not walk away..

So stripped out dash to silicone grease all clips and fix some broken screw attach points to reduce rattles, which it has done.. Also stuck on some glossy trim around air vents main reason was to hide cracks in the plastic instrument binnacle.. Fit on binnacle not great, but i tell you...

My Z4 has been daily driver for over 10 years now. My route is country lanes. Is it possible to get softer springs for a 23i, not lowered but to try and make it run straighter. Compared to the Berlingo i drive on the same roads bumpy, Berlingo runs like on rails or autopilot.

Funny i fitted new EBC greenstuff front pads with new discs, now get EBC warning! So when i brake sharp yellow brake warning lights up. On iDrive says EBC failure. Goes if i restart engine. Obd codes all sort come up, brake switch, abs, etc.. But for a moment on iDrive said brake switch...

Not BMW, but Toyota. Friends car has random brake warning light. Took to Toyota dealer, said code they saw too random? I said might be abs sensor fault. Put my obd reader on friends car, a Toyota Avensis. Code P1750 comes up (related to abs sensors).. We still think it's abs sensor so he took...

Working on car this last week i seem to notice excessive exhaust vapour and smell. I replaced the heat exchange O ring few weeks ago. No leaks. But i get the feeling water is passing into engine and out the exhaust. Oil looks and smell normal at filler. Replaced anti freeze few weeks ago, i...

So trying to do one job, fit an amp. Need roof operated a few times. Then on one opening, bong, roof stuck windows open. Drafty drive home in fog. So now the left side wiring rear shell is faulty. Knew it would fail at some point. Knew i should have just replaced it in the summer at my leisure.

Well replaced several months ago, looks like it hasn't lasted long. Oil over drive belt, alternator and running down to the belly pan. I am assuming the seal has gone, again. Going to buy from dealer on Monday and fit that. Never know what you are buying from eBay. Live and learn, eh. Thought...

Quick project, seem to get some mist in headlamps requiring removal of the bulb caps to clear, so drilled some holes in the caps. Covered with fine mesh inside.

So working on car find wet carpet behind drivers seat. Can see the rear window black seal not line up with the door glass. Tried the reset by holding all down up and individual, still cocked over, no change. So do i need to strip the panels out to get to it. Or do i need roof down first to...

So anyone had any success getting one of these to work. https://vibeaudio.co.uk/product/powerbox65-4bmw3 Should have known it would be "plug and playup". Picture shows the adapter but not the pass through cable. Spent all afternoon trying to suss it out. Cables supplied plus bought adapter...

Random perusing digital instrument panel on Aliexpress and video showed steering wheel with the 10 till 2 o'clock part missing.

Even though my car has the iDrive display, found this interesting. iDrive looking a bit dated, but like the idea i can hide it for classic clean look. Someone else might have posted but this is new to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR-daOEFXRw&t=1s

Just bought a set £202 with discount, valid for 5 days for my 23i. Just show interest first on ebay, then discount appears on offer.

I know there has been lots of discussion on fuel, but this last month i have only been putting in my 23i car Shell superunleaded. Some say a waste of money, but with the throttle adapter fitted I would not now drive on any other fuel. My poor wallet is going to think it's on Ozempic :o

Bought replacement bonnet badge about 3 years ago, genuine BMW. Blue/Grey centre of badge colour is rubbing off. Would have expected that from Chinese copy, not BMW. So £70 for £10 quality.

Well had them fitted 9 months, don't rate them much. Bit chunky and stick out. But i noticed the drivers side blade all marked? Then remembered seeing Crows on other cars in the car park pecking away around windshields. Thus realised same thing happening to my car. For some reason they like...

So just renewed Z4 insurance. Bought for £207 fully comp. £100 less than i paid last year. Also, a different company insured Berlingo, £250 fully comp. Happy with both prices. So the Z4 insurer got back to me to say a CUE (Claims Underwriting Exchange) had been flagged. I asked what for, they...

Something i neglected. Last changed about 6 years ago :oops: I noticed the heater not blowing very hot and not much flow so changed filter. Surprise, now runs lot warmer now all the dried leaves fallen out and clean filter. Surprised there were leaves as i fitted a mesh to the intake to stop...
