Can anybody explain to me where the Front Targa drain pipes are routed please, i need to access them to properley so i can reroute them in order to stop any further water drainage damage within the sill , ta Neil

Ive recently replaced front discs with ebc drilled and grooved. And red stuff pads. After maybe 2 months driving ive developed a vibration at about 40mph under braking. I changed the discs and pads for brand new standard pads and discs and the problem seemed to go away. Until the other day when the vibration returned. They were only on the car for 2-3 weeks. Could this be the hub or is there something else causing the problem? Its doing ma head in and also costing me!!

Today i thought i'd start stripping down the Zed. Ive sold the engine, and a few other bits that needed to be removed. Started at 10am this morning. I was meant to be at Gayden, the biggest BMW show of the year, but as i had to work yesterday, the jobs i needed to to, didn't get done, so i missed the show. Anyway, i spent a couple of hours sorting other parts, then started on the engine. Im no mechanic, but im getting better. When ive taken engines out before, ive had 1 of 2 mates round. 1 is a proper mechanic, the other is like me, but with a bit more experience. When i stripped the last 2 328 Bmw's i had, neither were about, so i tried to take the engine out mys…

I`ve seen lots of pics of this car and like it lots but never on the move, I must say the shot from the side at the begginning looks friggin awesome!!

After 8 years of more or less care free motoring the car let me down today! Happily trundling along the A36 heading towards wilton classic and super car show when I noticed the temperature heading north,:ohmy: by the time I found a lay by about 50 yards up the road had stem pouring from under bonnet:no: Once the car cooled down I found that the plastic hose outlet or boss at the top of the rad has snapped off:mad2: so i had to use the RAC that's the first time in 9 years as well. So the car had to be brought back on a low loader and is now safe and well back in my garage. So has anybody got an ally rad i can have pretty please:blushing: here are t…

i took the power steering pump off the car and left it connected in the engine bay like i did when i did my N/A engine change. well trying to get this damn bolt lined up so i can bolt it back up is proving to be a pain in the ass, any one got any tips or is it just a case of keep going until it eventually finds its seat? The N/A didn't give me this much trouble, I've been at this now for over an hour trying to get the rear lined up to get the bolt in place.

As above

Spotted a red LWB H reg at the Great Glen A6 roundabout today at about 13:10hrs. My partner also said she saw a blue ZX in Wigston a few days ago near to the Police station.

Hi there all, As some of you know I've had turbo problems. After some serious thinking I'm going down the route of T28's from 2 200SX. They will OEM Garrett parts and will be fully reconditioned, by who I don't know yet but not a pikey back street garage. I'm led to believe that 1 will need to be 'clocked' to give me handed turbos. What else will I need to consider and buy to make the conversion as good as I can? I will be putting the cats back on the car but would rather use high flow cats with divorced downpipes, is this possible or am I dreaming LOL. Cheerz guys, Rob

about ten minutes ago by asda petrol station looked fairly standard, apart from exhaust
