Does anyone have any experience of using the above to fit a phone into a Z3? Your thoughts on quality, fit etc would be appreciated, they are expensive to buy and I want to make sure it fits ok, any pro`s/con`s etc. Thanks, Steve.

Kidney grill removal
Bit of a stupid question really, how do the grills come off? Are they in two parts and you remove the inner first or the outer first? How do the clips come apart, lever with a screwdriver? Thanks, Steve.

Re: Thermostat changing
In this situation the bolts are not "rusted" in, they seize as a result of electrolytic reaction between two dissimilar metals. i.e the alloy head and the zinc plated bolt. If you are taking out the old ones then I would suggest giving the point at which the bolt meets the head a good dosi...

Chaps, going to view a 2001 2.2i Z3 tomorrow so what do I look for?
VANOS?? Is it as bad as some say or related to the S50 (?) series engine only?
DISA Valve? Does it make that much noise when going/gone?
Boot floor? Do I need to worry about that on a 2.2 litre engine?
Thanks
Steve.
