Hood operation

Thanks - I was hoping it could as if/when I do change, the operation of the lid from the fob is very important to me as without it, I would find it more or less impossible to get out of the car!
 
I've found it quite a painful process either closing / opening from the fob. You have to be very close to the car which sounds fine for your use case but I'd suggest testing it out before purchasing.
 
Ronk, If I read your last post you mention wanting the Fob to control the hood on the car to make it easier to enter/exit? How well will that work for you in the rain?
 
Afraid I’d just get wet! :rofl:
In reality tho, my main problem time is in my garage at home. Although it’s a double there is a support pillar in the wrong place.

The proximity thing would probably be ok but the heads up is appreciated.

Get a steel beam put in Ronk, easy job, make life so much easier. :thumbsup:
 
I’ve looked at that but I can’t see any way it could be done.
The pillar currently supports two intersecting beams under the gable end and the front of the house. :(

Putting a normal car in the garage isn’t a problem but the door on the z4 is akin to the position of the rear door of a normal saloon car.

Pop a few pics up when you have the inclination. It’ll be doable.

I will :thumbsup:
 
I’m afraid not - I would then have the wall to contend with.
My problem is that I need to get the door as wide open as possible to lug my legs out .

The corner of my house crumbling worries me more!

Things have moved on a lot Ronk, it’s now quite easy to underpin without all the digging previously needed. If you’re genuinely concerned I’ll look up a system I studied a couple years ago that uses ground anchors and even a jacking system that pushes the wall back into place using said anchors if the corner is starting to crack.
 
Can the roof not be raise/lowered off a phone app on the G29 like other GXX models can be locked/unlocked?

ABC ANCHORS are one such company that drive screw pile anchors into the ground next to the wall and if needed they can use these piles with plates on to jack a crumbling wall back into position. Have a look, interesting stuff..... :thumbsup:
 
The corner 75% of the house is over the double garage space.
A beam supports the gable end and another supports the front wall.
The two beams intersect on the support pillar and rest on that pillar

In essence, the 75% corner of the house is over the garage void.

My crumbling wall worries comment related to a potential problem if the offending pillar was removed.

I will dig out some drawings tomorrow :thumbsup:
