ok well.... not quite the supercharger but nearly as good :-) well, i went on the GB for the vibratech z4m FAST road and compeition billet mounts..... i have 2 sets, one comp ( super stiff) and one fast road, im going to run the Competition set ( as long as its not toooooooo harsh) the mounts cost around 240 quid each set.... They are a work of art john, billet bodies that are completely failsafe filled with natural rubber inserts, they are COMpletely rebuilable.... we will never need another engine mount, the fast road offer no more NHV the stock,the compeition ones well.... no-body knows, hence why im trying them... once ive got them in and confirm i can live with them i want to donate the fast road set to you... why well.... partly because your quite literally barking mad.... ( reminds me of me) and well.... partly because.... im glad you here on the forum, and lastly because well.... you understand. They are YOUrs. (btw this is a great time to sort the failing engine mount frame bolts which back out)

With the fast road set you will get no more nvh than stock but a stiffer mount with much better compression qualities.. an for 30 quid you can rebuild them at home :-)

all you have to do... is drive up and collect them ( id prefur to hand them in person) or ill go take them to your daughters house :-)
Byron,

Thanks for thinking of me with these parts and for your kind words. :thumbsup: I'd seen your posting on these elsewhere and thought they look very interesting and some very nice engineering.

As for me being barking mad; remember that genius is next to madness and I don't think I'm quite at the barking stage just yet... :wink: :rofl:

I'll come and visit you sometime after the forecast bad weather has passed. I've got my Z4MC in bits today after fixing the bonnet catches, and continuing the project that I told you I was starting last weekend. I'll keep my eye on the forecasts and we'll arrange a visit soon. :thumbsup:

Just seen this post. Happened on my MC and for the life of me I couldn't work out what the issue was. Decided to let ETA Motorsport sort it when they didn't my last oil change :D

Picked up, Bowden cable properly situated :thumbsup:

Glad to see you got it sorted exdos and kudos to Bing for his prognosis :thumbsup:

Bonnet Catch Won't Open

Post by Lynchy » Tue Jun 28, 2022 10:51 am

Hi all, my left bonnet catch when I’m standing in front of my car won’t release, I’ve tried pushing down while someone holds the lever open but nothing. Can I get to the catch via the access panel in the wheel well as Exodus explained or will the water bottle be in the way?
