Hello from Sunny Manchester
Hi All
Just joined the forum I have a 2005 2.2 previously a MGF owner but with very limited mechanical skills which leaves me at the mercy of local garages I’ve got a couple of problems with the car which hopefully I can resolve over the next couple of weeks, it would be good to be able to connect with some Z4 owners locally, anyway just thought I’d take this opportunity to say hello

Hello Zulu59,
welcome to the forum...not really local to Manchester (I am in Dublin) but I am often there for business (not with my Z4 though).
I am in a similar situation: have the tools but not the bottle
Enjoy your new car, the weather seems promising!

Hi and welcome OP - nice looking Z4 you have there (even if it is suffering with orientation)!
+1 for contacting "ducklakeview" - I'm sure there isn't a Z4 problem he can't sort!

Hello from Sunny Manchester
bz4kev, I have two issues the first one is the passenger door won't open either from the outside or inside, the second being an airbag light which I've been told is the B-post satellite sensor which I've been quoted £300 for supply program and fit .

Hello from Sunny Manchester
firebobby, I loved the MGF , a lovely car but unfortunately they have a number of issues notably the head gasket, however you did feel as if you was sat on it rather than in it, as the driving position was quite high , but the Z4 is a far superior machine
