Thanks to all for info. on paint. Just got off the phone to that company in NI and will be picking up the 336 paint on thursday. Great job guys and again big thank you.

Evening all, Trying to find aerosol paint in Aegean blue, code 336. Tried BMW here in France, who tell me it is no longer available. Going to Belfast at Xmas and am hoping to find it there, Halfords perhaps? Anyone any info on paint situation would be most welcome. Problem seems to be that 336 is an...

Hi Boosh, Having imported several vehicles from UK to France over the years I should be able to shed some light for you, Each time was a bit different from the others, things change, rules and the people you deal with at various offices. Have to say i was always well looked after and never had a pro...

Hi there, are you telling me it took 3 wks. and not 3 days, as i said for the old WD 40 to work the magic? Glad you got it sorted.

Hi, before you start to worry about electric connections, seat removal or tilting please read on. Think yourself Lucky that the seat is stuck in high as this will give you much more room to spray WD 40 (plenty ) on all metal in sight. Worked for me, stuck on high and with cluncking from motor. Only ...

Hi there Paul, Just back to France after a wee visit to Belfast with my Z.1000 miles covered there and back, nice run. Too many bicycles there at present for my liking but i did spot at least 3 or4 Zs around the city in 3 days. Tells me there must be a lot of you around. Compare that to maybe 3 spot...

Hi Tom and welcome from yet another 2.2 guy. Little confused about your computer readings regarding MPG etc. I also have the 2002 sport model and am unaware of any onboard computer. Am i missing something?

HI Mint, This was my first problem when i bought my car about 3yrs ago. As i was a newbie took it right away to bmw. Two problems were found, split in intake rubber hose down near idle control valve,a little y shaped hose running off the larger, secondly code reading showed fault camshaft sensor(exh...

Just read your post Mangoose. I had a problem also with seat stuck in high position, put up with it for a few months and decided i had to sort it. Was prepared to remove seat etc. but read on here about a WD40 cure. Luckily as the seat is stuck in high this gives you plenty of room to spray all movi...

Hi there Snurdf, Had the same problem few months back, tried cleaning idle valve as mentioned but no joy. Turned out to be the inlet camshaft sensor, changed that and all was well. Fairly easy diy on a 2.2 that was. Good luck.

Bit late but dont forget your wet gear,France is not having the best of weather recently (3months that is) things can only get better. Bon route

Finally got around to dropping out the spare wheel and checking out jack use etc. Tyre itself looked unused without the tiny sidewall cracks usually found on old tyres but the wheel was almost welded to the plastic holder. Had to remove lots of sand gravel etc. and ended up sanding down and repainti...

Hi there, No need to remove lights, stickers are available from AA or you can buy them on board ferry. Mike Fishwick has a post on DIY stickers, check his posts. Bon voyage.

Thanks for the offer Rafolian, might take you up on that sometime. Next trip to the sun is next month to Greece- riding back on my old Enfield which i left over the winter after riding down last july. Crete that is, may the gods be with me.

Many thanks to all for info. regarding panel light illumination, i can now forget about it. Bonjour and bout ye rafolian, just a few miles up the road at Holywood. Now in Brittany which is a bit like the old country regarding wind and rain. Well for some in these hot spots.

Greetings all, first post so be gentle. Bought a 2.2 sport about 2yrs. ago and thanks to this forum was able to sort most of the probs. myself. Kudos to Aceman(camshaft sensors) Jonttt (headlight change) that Aceman again ( split in small intake hose) Last but not least M. Fishwick(oil changes and m...
