Is anyone considering camping at santa pod? might be fun

Payment sent, thanks for organising.

I like the wheels & only the wheels

I posted this last week but had no response. Just in case anyone else has the same problem I have the answer! After a BMW diagnostic check, the forward cam shaft sensor was showing as a fault. This in turn was causing the oxygen sensor on the othrside of the cat to fail. I had the cam sensor replac...

Im zeding over there in may. Going to the mille miglia. Ill have to keep my eyes peeled for some italian zeds.

Hi ian, long time mate

Julie & i are deffo up for this. Really missed it last year. Might even be up for some camping

jollyassassin

I've been biking for 30 years,had many bikes in that time, much too many to list. I have a fireblade & a Harley 883R in the garage at the moment,though i fancy a moto guzzi griso when the weather gets a little better

jollyassassin

If the car stalls from warm then it could be the cam inlet sensor. That was what the problem was when mine stalled when warm. I changed it & the problem was solved. Pretty easy fix as well, just check the knowledge base. Mine would stall from warm only, not cold or hot, anyway a new inlet sensor...

jollyassassin

Had the same problem with mine, turned out to be the inlet cam sensor.It started when cold & when hot but if it was luke warm it would start but when i touched the throttle it died. I changed the inlet sensor & all is cured

jollyassassin

For anyone in the Warrington area these guys are fantastic http://www.davidpaulofwarrington.co.uk/ You'll always get an honest report of what your car needs & they are very reasonable. They have done a few jobs on mine this year & have always been honest & professional.

jollyassassin

And another user

jollyassassin

I had the same problem as the guy in your link. I had the inlet sensor changed a few months ago & it cured the problem :) Ive since had another problem with the car juddering through the gears at around 2000 rpm. I was willing to take a punt at £25 for an exhaust sensor but thought £90 was a lit...

jollyassassin

Anyone used bmwpartsonline? I need a cam position sensor on the exhaust side & i phoned bmw parts dept.............£89 inc vat :shock: So i thought id checkout the inter web & found bmwpartsonline, they want £25 inc vat, a massive difference. Well thats got me thinking, Whats the difference ...

Ive had alot of trouble with my washer jets. After putting up with them for far too long i desided to take the lot apart :? I found that my problem was the gauze filter in the bottom of the washer bottle, it was blocked & only letting a little water through. I took it out & cleaned it (bluei...

I only use david paul for all the work on my Z, & like jonttt has already said there service is second to non.

jollyassassin

The sad thing is that not everyone will be as switched on as the last buyer & have it inspected. You could easily be drawn in to the fact that it has only 8000 miles on the clock & all the shiney photos he has posted. Some one will buy this car,just hope they dont come on here after the purc...

jollyassassin

Dont you just hate those "too cool to let on" drivers. I was out on the wirral last sunday, roof down, blue skies. I passed a few Z drivers who were too cool to wave,so i didnt bother posting in the spotted section.

jollyassassin

Cantona have you tried these guys http://www.bmtec.co.uk/ not sure how much they charge but ive heard that they are good indies.
Great name by the way, greatest player to grace that hallowed ground IMHO

I bought the bosch s6 battery a couple of months ago. It seems to be a really good battery & even has post holes for the terminal covers from your old BMW battery. It also has vent holes for the vent pipe.

jollyassassin

thanks for that. Got the seriel number from the unit and phoned up my local BMW garage who give it to me within a couple of minutes. However i thouht the purpose of the code was so if it got stolen then no one would be able to use it without the code. I could of stolen this unit from any of you guy...

I had my Falkens fitted by Event Tyres, they did a great job & were good on price, what a painless experience

jollyassassin

I did this only last week. I slipped out the radio to reveal a label with numbers on it, jotted down the numbers & got intouch with my local BMW dealer. I gave him these numbers & a little while later he got back intouch with my code ALL FREE

Result.

Well seeing that we was supposed to meet at ferrybridge last time & ended up at weatherby, prolly safe to say weatherby

The seats look very nice. Would love them in my z

jollyassassin

Tori, they are probably stuck, a very common problem. sometimes they can be tapped back into operation. Also check that there isnt a foriegn body preventing them from operating, i know its a tight space so a vacuum might help. These things usually stick because of lack of use so once freed should be...

Simon, quite a few on here have fitted falkens to there z's & find them to be a fantastic tyre. They seem to suite the z very well.

jollyassassin

Simon check the tyre pressures. Mine can be sensitive to the wrong pressures. Tweak the pressures untill you find a happy balance. Hope this helps

I've had the same problem with my washer jets for a short while now. Spurred on by this post i took the washer bottle off today, it was pretty clean.

We can get some really nice days in the winter, blue skies but very cold. I put the heating on full for a few miles & let the cabin warm up before i put the roof down, just gives the window a chance to warm up
