thanks TonyM I didn't get the chance to crawl around in the dirt to check it out and plan to get it over to my local Indy in Warrington asap. No maintenance cover on mine though :(

Thanks for the suggestions. Haven't found the leak as yet but have now determined that the leak is something to do with the headlamp washer part of the system. No leaks from the bottle if filled and left, no leaks if the washers are used without the headlights on (i.e. just the screen wash) but if t...

Self emptying wash bottle....

Since the last big freeze I seem to have a problem with the windscreen wash bottle, it just keeps emptying, when the dash light was on for a while I thought it was just still frozen but then discovered it was empty having not long topped it up with screenwash. So removed it, which is a bit fiddly, (...

Yep that's pretty much what it's down too I guess, get a little heat into them then a few hard(ish) long brakes should clean them up nicely.

Well yes I did get the wheel off, with a large rubber mallet !!. A very common problem according to my local tyre fitter ( a proper fitter not a tyre monkey, I trust them to fit the tyres to my race car !) So cleaned and dealt with now. However the original issue that I wanted to get the wheel off f...

Auto dimming rear view mirror question / problem

Before you all start complaining I did try to post this question in the Z4 knowledgebase but it only allows mods to post. I seem to have developed a problem with my 2 yr old coupe, the left hand door mirror no longer seems to auto dim, RH and interior are OK. I have found that the auto diming seems ...

thanks guys, that confirms there's no other locking mechanism, I have seen systems that have a locking pin into the wheel centre hub. S here comes the extra large rubber mallet :shock: and I won't be driving it on two studs, not even an inch ! As for the brake wear, I think something is embedded in ...

Coupe - Cannot remove rear wheel - unusual disk wear

Sounds daft this I know but I need to get one of the rear wheels off as I'm not happy about the brake wear, (it seems only part of the disk is being used, maybe something embedded in the pad?) Anyway undid all the wheel bolts yesterday but the wheel is very firmly stuck on, I'm no stranger at workin...

Which Oil for Z4 coupe 3.0si

I've had my Z4 coupe since May of this year, started with 7500 mls on the clock now got 10300 so not a huge mileage in 7 months, most is motorway / dual carriageway driving and definitely not thrashed, power used sensibly. Now the oil level light has come on at engine switch off which I'm extremely ...
