The females of the house, (human and canine) are forbidden entry after they refused to wear the supplied plastic shoe covers, white cotton gloves and deliberately put a pair of pliers back into it's labeled foam drawer insert upside down. Hence the Z1 print, and others, are now banned in the house....

They are not leaking however, the rear heat shield element is holed. The original metal weave laminate style has been replaced with what looks like thick grey cardboard. Just live with a holed heat shield and the associated OCD. OCD is usually triggered by the 'visible', so as the gasket isn't the ...

The crack is on the sill panel inline with the rear of the door, about 3" long now. I had the same problem, MOT guy jacked car up resting on sill, had mine repaired, they did a very good job. Grind down both sides, rebuilt with layers of flexible material, then painted back and front. Suggest remov...

Kossyk repair kit is pretty good, however I would say it depends where it is and how far its progressed. Wings, inspect regularly, once it starts drill a small hole at the base to stop it progressing, then use the repair kit. Then strengthen all 4 mounting holes as a precaution and renew the rubber ...

Anyone know what the ticking noise might be? Only seems to start when the engine is really warm, during a journey and when slowing down, on the overrun. Also, when the engine is warm, the horn doesn't work, though I can't tell if this starts to fail at the same time as the ticking begins. I can't s...

Hi Jet

Sorry to chase, guess you've got a lot on but any update on booking details for this yet?

GG,

Good timing, just reserved 20 rooms earlier this week, so will update thread when I get back from LCCS.

Jet,

Unsure about the relevance or accuracy of your comment on the manifold heat and the left front wing.

Pat

Probably because you didn't read the article on the subject

Jet

This car arrived on our 2009 Tour with carbon panels, very smart. http://www.z1-online.de I wonder if painting carbon is different to painting plastic and whether it looks/reflects the same? I understand there is some clever technology between bonnet and left wing to do with heat dissipation from th...

have you tried a paste of jeweller's rouge and olive oil?

My first reaction was a smirk, then I realised your serious

I know not what it is, but according to my Google companion, it is "finely ground ferric oxide, used as a polish for metal and optical glass".

I'll give it a try. Chz Felix.

Jet

...there is more.

The seller knew his car and previous owner. He bought it with fitting kit in situ, so one might deduce the top and car were once upon a time, consciously coupled.

The plot thickens...

Jet

Is it Perspex or Glass?

Been meaning to change the shield on mine which is perspex, some very fine scratches I cant get rid of.

I have also got NOS front indicators , still boxed inc seal and screws, the front lower small spoiler, still in its wrapper and 4 Z1 wheels centres, still wrapped , also a NOS washer bottle, anyone interested in buying any of them let me know.

Hmmm....how much for indicators?

Jet

Club member bought it, who happened to have a kit, but no top.

Jet

About 3x what you paid for them. As you have found, its the kind of part you might buy and store away, hopefully never need.

How much do you want for them?

Jet

Yes still available. Do you still have the car?

I managed to find a used LH window motor. Fingers crossed it solves the issue. With this done the car will be in A1 condition!

Let us know how you get on, always good to know the outcome for future reference.

Good luck.

I am not sure if they are the later lights? how can I tell, I can't seem to put pics on the message?

They are all the same, apart from fog light activation, which depends on country of origin.

Ive just put it on ebay starting £99.Ending next Tuesday am. Its not new but very serviceable . It would be nice if one of the regular Z guys got it . Nik

Did it sell? One of those items that will be invaluable to someone in the future, be kicking myself if it turns out to be me

Long time no speak.

Happy New year!

Speakers and leather were optional extras, someone will get a bargain if it ends at 500, however do check it has essential fitting kit.

It does raise some queries, the mirror switch bezel is an odd colour.

Very Interesting Z1 review by youtuber Doug DeMuro.
Pay close attention to the car itself, being US based parts are scarce, which might explain it, but how many 'anomalies' can you spot?
I counted 7.
