Having read on here about cleaning the brushed aluminium dash on my z4 with baby wipes, I tried it and it works a treat😀
Also applied Rainex to windscreen, which also works a treat.
Love the forum, great info 😀

Mike did some work on my 330d tonight,

Clutch delay valve removal
Propshaft donut
Tightened exhaust clamp

Wow it's like a differnt car, can't belive how worn the donut was, it basically fell to bits on removal, so much tighter now, it's tightened up the drive train no end coupled with the cdv removal it drives well for 212k!



Now, where can I go to post a thankyou thread? :tumbleweed:

put on some new rear tyres today... Federal 595 RS-Rs in 255/35/R18 size. They were to replace the previous pair that I flat spotted... locked the rears at 100mph down the back straight at Bedford GT - did a neat 720, but luckily never left the black stuff!

the car is now nearly ready for first trackday in January - just need a wheel alignment.

Been meaning to change the headlight bulbs for months but being to lazy to do it. Today my passenger side main beam bulb decided to go pop so ended up replacing them with Philips Xtreme Vision PLUS 130% Extra Light. Lets hope I can see the roads a bit better now.

Fitted new brake pads all round (EBC Bluestuff)
Bled the brakes with fresh DOT4 fluid
Checked coolant and air filter for condition
Swapped all the locking wheel nuts for normal ones
Fitted the towing eye

only things left are get new track tyres installed on the rims, and a wheel alignment, and then we're ready for first trackday, which is hopefully going to be Bedford GT on Sat 20th January if anyone fancies coming along :thumbsup:
When you say fitted the towing eye, do you mean that silly bit of nylon hanging off the front of your car like a boggie? If so, why?
