@Jonnycoupe why are you selling it? You still clearly seem to love it!
What have you done to your car today?

Got 4 cars on the drive at the moment, this compared to the Insight still has some market value 
Trading the Mondeo in tomorrow so I got the car mapped back to stock yesterday and this morning I've been removing the extra wiring for things I put in like dashcam power and a neatly ran cable to the glove box fuse box for satnav power as well as reverse camera and all that fun stuff. Next up is putting the original wheels back on it but it's been raining heavily down here all morning so I've been waiting for it to ease off. Not really in the mood right now.

Took it out for its first drive in 2 and a bit weeks. Roof motor or something related to it seems to of died...
Bought an OBD2 reader for the Giulietta, have a engine check light on.
Had all Oil sensors replaced last week. Must be faulty
can't get to any of them without lifting the car and undoing the under tray. Why are new cars difficult to check stuff.

Hope it won't be too painful!

Was your motor relocated? If not then it's dead.. one of the z4 forums guys will be able to bring it back and relocate the the boot

Not a 100% sure what it is yet. Roof went down fine but when I went to put it back up I could hear the motor but had no movement. Had to lift the roof up about a foot before the motor was able to do the rest. But it sounded like it was struggling.
Motor has never been moved. Guess after 6 years of owning a z4 my luck with it run out, that and I guess it no surprise its happen after the car has largely been non maintained this year due to the house taking most of my time.
Feel the end of this year and next this car is going to cost me a pretty penny.

I hit a pothole a few weeks ago and bent 2 wheels (one of which I’d just paid to have straightened a week earlier). Insurance agreed to replace all 4 so it saved me $3300. They let me keep the old wheels too
All of the wheels were marked up, some kerb rash, some from a poor refurb job from before I got the car so I’m pretty happy to get them off.
3 were fitted on Wednesday and the 4th will be fitted next week some time as we’re waiting for it to come in from Germany.

Just dropped car off to a home mechanic for a service and possible pot hole damaged wheel and went to petrol station first. Only noticed but some toerag has hit my car in the last few days while it was parked up near my house, on the road. No note left or anything.
All on the rear bumper luckily but must have hit fairly hard. So ****** off. Its only been 2 years since some dumb bint took out the other side of the rear bumper.

The red and white actually works well. I’m not even taking the ****.

Not as critical as I thought so far
Yeah it does but its only the back bumper and rear panel that are white, so from any other angle it just looks like it's been patched up, which it has.

Why do you have a mightcarmods sticker on the back?
Probably because he bought one and stuck it on the car.

Is it me or is the sticker off centre, slightly to the right?

I’ve seen prettier sculptures appear from my German Shepherds ......
Was that more like it?Not as critical as I thought so far
