Hello! New Z4 owner and recent forum member (obligatory photo attached!).
I bought my 2003 e85 3.0 in November and been having great fun since.
The hood stuck down last month and after a quick search on here, I visited Durham Dave (3 hour drive from Glasgow) who did a great job, in the time it took me to walk to Greggs and take 1 sip of coffee. Super quick and super neat job of relocating the now working motor to the boot. Well worth the round trip.
Now I have another issue... a knocking noise from the front of the car. It happens mostly at slow speeds on uneven ground (possibly because I can't distinguish it from the other noises at higher speeds).
I pushed down on the NSF wing and heard it knocking too, so drove straight to the mechanic to let him hear it....no knocking! Then I parked on an area almost flat, as close to the same as my driveway as possible and it knocked when pushing on the NSF. He seemed to think it was coming from near the OSF, but after checking the bushes, arms, drop links, gear box mounts (and another few things, which I can't remember), he can't find an issue.
If he can't find an issue, I assume the car won't fall to bits mid-drive, and as I'd rather have it located and fixed, figured some on here may have had similar experience, so any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
