Re: Unwanted rumble

Well just shelled out for 4 new tyres and the noise is the same as before, not a problem really as they were all dated 1995 and hardening so should have a better ride and some more compliance anyway. Was worth the shot though, and better not to have one delaminate on me at speed.

Re: Unwanted rumble

No noise is there all the time and worse with speed and reduces when turning in one direction only. G

Re: Unwanted rumble

Thanks GG,
Was really wondering if there were any hands on Z1 enthusiasts ready to jump to the challenge but I can give them a ring or may even drop round if in the area.I take it, its your Z1 they have been looking after?

Re: Unwanted rumble

Well, original equipment BMW exhaust rehung in slightly better position and noise is as loud as ever. There is no escaped grease as I though just where hands have made the drive shaft shiny and all seals seem intact. Tried to check diff oil levels but don't have the correct size of hex and don't wan...

Re: Unwanted rumble

Right, my mistake, so no escaping grease just someone's hand has been on the shaft and the dust has gone.And there is no splattered grease anywhere. Will probably just realign exhaust to rule that out and then look for someone more skilled than I to tackle the noise if it remains.Not keen on removin...

Re: Unwanted rumble

Thanks Ivor. I know what you mean about the line of grease have seen it from old propshafts on some of the older cars but haven't noticed it on the ZETTIE. We are off touring in Brittany for about 10 days so will be looking further on my return.

Re: Unwanted rumble

They look fine Jet and I have shaken it very hard to make sure it doesn't contact any other structures, but I did notice some oil or grease on one of the output shafts from the diff so will explore that next.

Unwanted rumble

Hi, On the way to the tour we noticed a rumble from the rear of the car. It seemed to reduce on left hand bend but otherwise built with speed and didn't seem related to engine or gears. I put it down to the new OE exhaust I had fitted just before touching something but having got it on my ramp at th...

Re: Where next?

Yes Pat, that was what I thought only 12 with red interiors but someone on the tour produced a chart that suggested 33 had the red interior. So who is correct?

Re: Where next?

Seems like Jamal was getting the fraulein ready. Visit Durdle Door then get them all to wear the dirndl for the visit to Munich :P . Just checked my chassis number for the 11th letter and guess it must be one of the last at 7904. If I can retire we will go, and lots to see and eat/drink in France be...

We are also there for the two night and looking for somewhere for the Friday night. A short walk would be good.

Re: Z1 Technical Day 2017?

Hi Jamal,

Hope all you chaps are well.

Am I too late to join the party? I enjoyed the 2014 tech day and the June dates may suit me. I wouldn't be able to do the May ones as in France for rally then. Planning on taking the Z1 back to France at Easter but plans can change.
