Hello from County Durham
Hi all,
Long time Z4 owner (8 years) living on the border of County Durham and Northumberland. She's now getting to the age where some TLC is needed and hoping there is some good stuff in the forum. I'm sure there will be having seen some hints and tips when i've lurked previously. Maybe in time i'll be upgrading and likely staying with BMW for the fun car, if only i can get to something M flavoured.
Just wanted to say hello, hope you all had a good Christmas and you're looking forward to the new year.
Some pics below that i took when it was a bit sunnier.......just realised i need to take more car photos.......

Hello from County Durham
Diagnosis is hopefully complete. It is now waiting for an appointment to go in for more surgery. In the meantime it is on the road with an orange light and a slightly rough idle.Doddsy wrote: ↑Thu Dec 27, 2018 11:08 pmAhaha did you get the last issues sorted or is it still being diagnosed Not to rub it in but I replaced my expansion tank so it’s back on the road and running fine (for now...)
