Its never been better mate. Had a full 4 wheel alignment done and its a dream. Sticks like sh1t to a blanket!!
I have a list of mods to do. But also many many rattles to sort out. And i still have not done my roof motor. But the rattles and roof motor are the only thing i am doing this summer to it. I am just going to drive it alot

Really like where you're going with this Matt, it's such a transformation from the car I saw.

Resurrected a roof motor yesterday. I might have a go at fitting it tonight.
Any advice welcome.

Que me posting asking for lots of help latter.........

So not sure if I tempted fate or not with my last post?!!
But I did have ago I followed this guidehttp://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=86101&hilit=Roof+motor#p1273363 thank you very much Mike it was very helpful.

So got the old motor out. Usual wet disgusting thing!! Ditched it and replaced it for my newer working motor (well I assumed it spins and makes noise) connected it all up and press the button and nothing. Well the electric motor works and you can hear the hydraulic motor spinning. But no roof movement?? Could anyone offer any advice??

Thanks in advance forum friends.

Do you need to top fluid up

 

[markplant]

Do the lines only fit one way , could they just need swapping,

I had this line of thinking. Off to read up thanks mate.

Worth a try if the other idea dose not work. But I did take them off one at a time. Off one onto the other.

Hi Matt, can I ask what benefits the clutch and flywheel bring? I think I need a clutch replacement and may go uprated both, if it's worth it.

Single mass clutches will make more noise. But give better feel. Light weight fly wheel well that will help the engine rev quicker. But dose mean you have to be more carful with rev matching.

For me it's for longevity and reliability at track and drift days. And also trying to get the driveline ready for more power.

Roof fixed it now goes up and down. So it was low on fluid topped up all good.

Good news Matt, glad you have your drop-top back

It is nice. Although I have a long weekend of decorating to look forward too :thumbsdown: But I am sure there will be some driving time. Hope the weather stays nice.
