    NOW SOLD Z4 3.0 Si sport roadster 2006 77k miles FSH Ruby black

    Having seen this car many times in the flesh, I can confidently tell you all that no photo of this car does it justice - it is simply stunning, and Si has looked after it very well. Best of luck with the sale Si, not that you’ll need it at that price - a steal if you ask me! David

    Would you accept £10 for the carbon badges? Please PM me! Edit - Sorry! Just researched and it appears the bonnet badge is meant to be 70mm, so I’ll have to pass! Regards, David

    starter motor squeely sound

    I removed my starter from my 3.0si while the manifold was out for other reasons. However, others have had success removing it with the manifold in situ. Definitely a squeeze but doable, so I’m told. This makes it sound a lot easier than it actually is: - Disconnect battery - Disconnect the...

I felt around a bit (hello sailor!) and found what I thought must’ve been the crankshaft sensor connector. Gave it the lightest of pulls and...

    SOLVED: Warning lights - please help!

    I think you’re right, and it’s most likely the crankshaft sensor, and its connector has been dislodged. I am 99.9% certain that everything I had to unplug was reconnected correctly. I think the crankshaft sensor connector being dislodged is causing the engine not to fire up initially, then the...
