Hi There, thankfully after changing all the seals and eventually the water inside the frame finally stopped I had no more problems. I also went a bit crazy and bought a new P400 X Defender (wasn’t looking but stumbled across one and loved the look and utilitarian feel. I’be had 4x4 before...

I did try a few coding options using Carly and they failed, this was with the engine running, I tried with the engine off and key in, still wouldn’t do it then tried with the key in and one press on the start button and then it worked. So…. It could be worth trying that next time when...

Had an odd one with this yesterday. Dropping the Zed off at Freshlayers for ceramic coating and on the way down (about 1hr) the screen when blank but was clearly still backlit. Came back on by itself, then went off again. It’s a bit like the iPhone connection dropped, (rather than a loose...

Just couldn’t get this to work but tried the same using Carly and worked fine, took about 1min 👍

Ah ok thanks, I will check next time this goes in as Im keen to make sure the DCT and Engine update has actually been done. I have never seen and comment on the invoice to suggest its been looked at or updated. For my BMW GSA (bike) they always make a point and charge for it...

Thank you, all done and working fine. Perfect weather day and took me about 2 hours, as you mentioned I did need to remove the car Bluetooth registration to get the MMI box to work. I’ve been for a 3 hour drive using CarPlay and Google Maps, really pleased with the results. The Nav display is...

Ah ok thank you 🙏 I have a Foxwell 530 so maybe I can find the SW version with that. I only have a Mac unfortunately.

No sorry I don’t; near the office their is a wide collection of large bottles but I didn’t see what they were. I do know they put the cleaning treatment on multiple times as he mentioned they keep repeating the process until its clean 👍

Ok will take a look, what is the ride improvement as a result of the change? I’m actually look for more comfort than stiff handling as my general need for speed has dropped over the years.

Hi Folks, Just an update. I am still (some weeks later) getting water out of the frame rails. The kitchen towel placed in each corner is still soaking it up. So as expected, it takes time but I'm in no major rush. I will post on here when it seems to dry up as this may help others get a feel for...

So, after months of sorting out the water ingress issue in the boot of my 35i (thanks to everyone on the forum) I am getting round to some TLC. I have owned this Z for most of its life, no intention of selling it and dabble in detailing, including 2 stage detailing with my Flex orbital . That...

Hi Folks, As a side effect of water ingress in the boot which lead to an epic thread and great help from everyone on this forum, I am now trying to register a new battery. Exactly the same make/model as the old battery (70ah AGM) but whichever option I take it fails with the message below. I...

Thanks 🙏 yep just did a snowfoam, wash and light touch dry before it hammered down with rain - again !! Might need to trade in the Z for a boat at this rate 😅 I had a cover like this years ago for a Lotus, this one seems a notch up so materials have improved a bit.

Ok folks - cover arrived today from Specialised Covers. Another layer in the strategy to ensure I’m keeping water out but more importantly for me are the gazzilion pieces of tree and leaves the car gets dumped with when it’s wet and windy. Gotta say I’m pretty chuffed with it, perfect fit and...

Hi Folks, A google here and there and it seems some folks report having general software updates (not referring to SatNav) from dealership, which include ECU and improve throttle response and steering etc I hadn’t considered this for my 2010 35i and whilst it has full BMW service history in...
