Fixing the Jaaaaag door handle.
A 10 minute fix first time round, but you did again, probably a two minute job and no removal of the door interior card.

Z4 coupe brake bulb change.

Just what it says in the title, changing a brake light bulb. My videos really need a bit more editing, I managed to get most of it out of frame! Makes you realise how polished the pro’s are and the effort that goes into their content.

I know, it’s been done to death, but CSL reps look so good! When the Coupe first came out, EVO mag ran a mini road test on a 3.0Si that had been breathed on. I can’t remember by who, but it wore CSL alloys and it looked amazing. Mine are reps as I’m not minted! They are 8.5 x 19 et 40 and 9.5 x 19 et 35. Tyres are 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. All tyres are Toyo Proxy, I’ve never used them before, s...
The Zed gets a bit of clay treatment.

Here I show you a bit of clay bar detailing. The results are so so, from a distance it’s beginning to look superb again, but up close there are some paint issues which I think are due to it being sat out unloved for such a long time. In the future I think I’ll get a proper detailer in, but there are other more pressing issues to get sorted first. Hope you like the video, and thank you for watch...
Cleaning the Z4 leather.
Переглядів 1384 місяці тому
Yep, the seats are horrid, lots of ingrained grime to deal with, made all the more challenging due to the yellow colour. The results aren’t perfect, but they are an improvement I think. I’ve not splashed out on auto specific cleaning products, it’s just stuff from home or any basic automotive retailer. As you can tell, I’m not a detailer, nor will I ever be. Thanks for watching.
Hot news! The Zeds not dead Z4 has an MoT
Переглядів 7934 місяці тому
Sorry about the bit of wind noise, I’m waiting for a mic to turn up. The Z4 now has MoT, Tax, insurance and is good to go. It failed yesterday on emissions, so I bought a catalyst cleaner and let it run upto temp this morning before its retest. This time I got a pass! I only bought it 12 days ago after its three years of being laid up, so I couldn’t be much happier. Anyway, lots of work to do s...
Z4 coupe front lights after mild refurb.
Переглядів 874 місяці тому
The Z4 headlights have probably had the most attention whilst getting the car road worthy. One has had a new ballast box, both have been dried out as were full of water, both have had new rear covers to hopefully keep the water out. Both were looking a bit dull, so before the bumper went back on, they had a slight polish. I’m pretty pleased with the results!

Z4 Coupe ballast failure.

At (bal)-last I’ve sorted why the drivers headlight wasn’t working. The ballast box was very rusty at the contacts, so new items will be ordered. I’ll do both sides and have a spare I think.
