She was right...told me I needed to sell my 76 MG Midget and 78 MGB and get something that worked all the time. Posted them on FB marketplace and they both sold within a week giving me the opportunity to purchase a 2004 Z4. Yes, I told her she was right. It has less than 80K on it and seems to run very well. Just a couple of issues I was hoping to hear from you on regarding the on board computer as well as a leak in the hydraulic hose on the soft top.
the top works fine manually but there is a leak somewhere between the relocated motor (in the trunk) and the top. the motor runs when told to but won't lift. after several hydraulic fluid refills I notice a nice little puddle of fluid on the ground on the drivers side. I am assuming when the pump was relocated that it severed a hose or that a connection to the actuator is not snug. I am fine with a manual lift and tuck to take the top down and back but would prefer to get it fixed in the long run. I haven't seen any youtube videos that deal with the hydraulic hose repair so any recommendations are appreciated.
The on board computer has four dashes under the odomoter/trip. I have tried resetting it and can get it to the point to where it says reset and eventually "end". When I take the key out and start again the dashes remain and it seems as if nothing has changed. Thinking that maybe I missed a step somewhere in buttonology for this thing.
I look forward to hearing from you folks.
