Another Z4 convert

Brontasnortypig · Post by **Brontasnortypig** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 10:16 pm

Hi.
I had a Z3 for 5 years and restored it to very nice condition. A rush of blood saw me sell it and I regretted it within hours. Two years later and I came across a nice Z4 last week - not perfect but only TLC needed.
It arrives tomorrow so I've started the search for help, advice and parts. The roof was working until recently but doesn't now. I've read alot about Alan from Bristol who deals with Z4 roof issues. Can anyone provide his contact details please?
I'm also after a set of 18" wheels and tyres. No break-neck rush, and there's always Ebay or Gumtree, but be good if any one knows of a set somewhere?
Finally, for now, there's an issue with the drivers door window dropping / not working. From whatcI've read this is common. What is the most likely cause(s)? Any tips.
Any other advice greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum, get some pics up before anyone complains

The window problem is more than likely the regulator cable, common issue. Easily fixed with a £18 kit from Ebay in an hour or so if you are handy with the spanners.

Hi and welcome OP - that's some user name you've chosen!

You've come to the right place to find expert roof-fixers.

I have a clean set of 108s that I don't need so are available as soon as I get off my backside and fit my winters!

They have Bridgestone run-flats on at the moment. Anyway here are a couple of photos:-

Thanks for the welcome & the info guys. Z4 arrived yesterday and been in the garage since - and as its -3c outside will put photos up asap. Car's basic and needs repairs, TLC + mods but that's why I bought it.
User name hails from days as Rugby player. Emerged from muddy ruck and some wag says 'Its a Brontysnortypig'. Never forgot it, not likely to be duplicated. Looking forward to Forum.
Many thanks

Hi Brontasnortypig !
Welcome to the forum and best wishes with the Zed. I'm sure you'll lsoon become as addicted as the rest of us!

I'll send you a PM with my phone number and we can talk about the roof issues. I'm also sat on a couple of sets of fully refurbished 18's that you're welcome to consider too.
Where are you geographically ?

Alan
