Cheers all, ZHP is on the list! (Unless anyone has one to sell - I'll check the other pages too)

But first I appear to have another issue ... Car (appears) to be running/driving fine, I stopped at a friends house (did nto turn off engine) 20mins later get back in and i'm greeted with this:

More than Likley wheel speed sensor. If it was handbrake traction and abs then it'll more than Likley be the pump. Think you need to invest in a c101 scanner for about £30 then you can determine the issue

Thanks Jamie, I have something similar on order: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07CVVZ4YW/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_tdw7CbA8W59PB

I have never used a OBD2 scanner before. Assuming I can get it to work and it gives me an error code. Is there a list of "code" descriptions of issues somewhere?

I didn't find a list, but this might help once you've got the code:- http://bmwfault.codes/
 
Don’t know about the c101 but the C301 tells you the fault. I had the same and it was an ABS SENSOR
 
Welcome to the forum and Z4 ownership. I bought my ZHP from Sytner in Coventry through EBay. Great service from them and a good price all safely delivered to NZ.
Lovely looking car that I am sure will look better in your ownership.

To be fair the abs cable was relatively cheap and easy to fit
 
Hi & welcome. Are you sure you have run diagnostics & not just plugged it in ( sorry not trying to patronise) just checking. :D

Hey thank you, haha, yeah I'm pretty sure (followed all instructions) and guides online I can find. (very sure the diagnostic was run, it just came back with 0 codes) Also, updated the unit - hoping this might have done the trick. :thumbsdown:
So these NEXPEAK NX301 do not work :|

What is the best "Carly" or scanner? I assume this will read codes (and much more)

Also, the exhaust tip is about 25% too big. I have no idea why someone has reviewed this and said "Fitted this to a BMW Z4 2 litre exhaust and extremely pleased with the outcome" :?

So! as per Kevoz4 & patriot66 recomendation - On order:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171851200478
 
At least it’s shiny 😂😂😂 .I have a Carly that seems to do most things, only problem is you have to renew the licence every year at 50 odd quid 😬 where are you based if close don’t mind plugging it in for you & checking before you buy one.There is a good guy in Bolton sorted my abs problem out I had to fit a pump that needed coding to the car only charged me £60 (fitted pump myself)
 
So this weekend the weather wasn't good so didn't wash her,
When it was great I was on the sauce :drinking:
When it was okay I was ... :sick:

That being said plenty of time on :ebay:

Got a new knob delivered today :lol: whey-hey

.... and an exhaust tip (this one looks much much better) Something to be said for OEM :D

So, I have a few months before MOT and need a few things doing...


  • Replace read 3/4 panel (after some T*** hit it and ran)
  • Replace roof motor and relocate (Now summer is here, it stopped working :headbang: )
  • Alloy wheel refurb (Black Gloss MV3)
  • Replace brake lines and install HEL braided cables
  • Suspension overhaul - Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set and Bilstein B4s/B6 ... still unsure ...
  • New ARB and Wishbone Bush, and drop links
  • Coolant change / try to get my heaters to work correctly
  • Remove condensation and polish headlight
  • Final stage polish and roof seal

Or maybe just put 2k towards a new z4 :-?
 
Roof removed and motor replaced from new one from RoofMotors.co.uk

Panel replaced today...
I am sure BMW started with that panel then attached the rest if the car around it. What a PITA!!!! :headbang:
 
So it took me 2hours wondering why the motor would only close, and refuse to go back down. :cry:

Eventually, I remembered about the little parcel shelf clip needed to be engaged! :rofl:
 
ARB bushes (PowerFlex Purples) and Drop Links (Lemforder) replaced this weekend. (need "thin" 18MM spanner to finish this job.
Although, still waiting for Eibach Pro Kit to arrive from AutoDoc/Germany. Hopefully get the Bilsteins and Eibachs sorted this weekend coming.
