Some of you may have read Stuart’s posts about replacing door actuators on the E89. I was the beneficiary of his work and everything is working as it should again. Over the years I have been a member Stuart has done an enormous amount of work on my 2 e85s and I am delighted that he has extended his range of skills to cover e89s now. Today as well as replacing the window actuator he also replaced roof sensors and the salmon relays. The roof sensors and the salmon relays were preventative maintenance.
So a big thank you to him and also to the Forum for enabling us to benefit from the skills and goodwill of some very talented members. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I am also allowing him to do some training on Z3s (just to broaden his horizons you understand). :lol:

I'm good like that.

BTW Stewpot, don't forget...two weeks! :wink:

Coilovers are due end of the week. I have a couple of beam bushes and the water sensor is all waiting for you. I did the two oil sensors myself yesterday.
I'm so good to you! :D

Stuart has only been here once, and is due again soon. So twice in 58 years. Both times will be for the 'abomination' that is the Z3. :D
