Yeah, I've read about the motor failing easily because water making it rust, but I don't think that's it in my case. Roof is moving as it should but there's kind of a screeching sound 3 or 4 times on the way up or down. Difficult to explain - hence the video 8)
Hi
Yesterday my roof motor started making a weird noise when going up and down. It's not slower than usually but it doesn't sound right so I'm afraid it's dying. I've always drained the holes several times a year and also done it recently so the holes are definately not clogged up.
I'm thinking...
I have the module installed in my Z. As DRL you can choose between fogs and low beam, you can also have the indicators on permanently (is that a US thing?) - and you can offcourse choose to activate or deaktivate rear lights as DRL's.

I've been looking at new 18" wheels on BMmotorsport. Can anyone tell me the difference between zito 935 and 3sdm 0.01 execpt for the choice in offset on the Zitos. Any difference in how concave they are, weight, or perhaps quality...
Do a search on the forum and you'll find lots of info on this. Most guys in here have ditched the run flats and found the ride to be much improved...myself included. I went for Pirelli P-Zero which is a huge improvement over the standard Bridgestone RF.
Don't get another set of runflats - they ruin the ride. Get a set of high end tires like Pirelli P-zero, Continental Sport Contact or Michelin Pilot Sport.
