Re: Project PFL 969

Revovo cleaner is very good, I gave the hood three applications and the muck comes off with a bit of scrubbing with hot water. Cleaning the hood revealed some serious fading as shown in these photos. http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t677/pfl969/roof2_zps8a8dcdb0.jpg http://i1319.photobucket.com/a...

OK the part numbers you've listed are for Z3's with standard seats (July '97-onwards) ending 893 is for the passenger side, ending 894 is the drivers side.

For people with M seats, passenger side ends 895 and driver's side is 896

Re: Boot lid brake light, wet, wet, wet!

I had to strip down my third brake light as water had been seeping in corroding the sockets in the light housing. The lens etc was full of corroded gunk and the seal was in pretty bad shape. I replaced the seal - I think the seal was about £2/£3 so definitely worth doing.
