Hi,

I've been lurking here for a couple of months so thought it was about time I said Hello and a big thank you for all the really useful info that I've picked up so far.

I bought a 2007 Coupe from a local dealer in April and have been loving it ever since. There were a couple of niggles initially but the dealer was quick to sort them without question. So far I've debadged it, colour coded the front grills, done the sound generator mod, painted the front calipers and fitted new Brembo discs and pads (rears waiting on time and weather). I've also fitted a pair of non-RF Avon ZZ5's on the rear. The front Bridgstones were nearly new so I've left them for the time being.

It had an annoying random knocking noise that the dealer couldn't trace despite fitting new bushes on the front wishbones. I managed to sort this myself, after research on here and other forums, by re-torquing the nuts on the OEM brace and suspension turrets. The ones on the brace offered little resistance when I undid them so they were clearly in need of attention. Since doing this there hasn't been a murmer :)

The photo isn't great as it was taken on my phone but better ones will follow.

:rofl: Love it.

To be honest I like them both and I wouldn't say no to a roadster but the coupe has the edge as far as my personal taste goes and I can get the dog in the back if I need to. Not that she likes it much, my Wife's Clubman is much more her style :)
 
Welcome - love the zed (love mine more though :wink: ) - but you know what they say about zeds down your end - if the roof don't come down, it's norfolk'n'good :thumbsup:
 
Aww, I love spaniels. I have a 2 year old Labradoodle, she's been out in the front seat a couple of times but she's not one for sticking her head out of the window so I'm not sure how she'd be in a roadster :)

Welcome mate!

I was in Norfolk at the weekend, lovely part of the world :)

I'm from Essex originally but love it here, alhough I've certainly noticed how bad some of the roads are since getting the Z :)
