Brilliant - I think all on here are well pleased for you.

just to get the z on flat ground and the engine cold - not easy as my drive is a tad steep. As soon as I have I will.

+ 4

I think that is the nicest kit I have seen so far. i will enjoy loking at the fished masterpiece - Nice work !!!

Well firstly it is best to check the engine oil when cold. Obviously on a flat level surface. Granted its a bit fiddly getting dipstick back into the hole but you should be able to see the oil level clearly. Other than that i cant see what you are doing wrong. really - when cold? Yes I am checking on a flat surface -a garage forecourt. So it has to be when cold then ?

I must be a numpty but I find it very hard to check my oil. I wait till the engine is warm. Pull the dipstick - and wipe, then replace (with great difficulty I have to admit - its like a bloody corkscrew !) Then I pull the dipstick again and can see no clear oli level, it seems all over the stick. What on earth am I doing wrong?

Mine is fine every time - Spose that will be the kiss of death though !!!

Thanks Ian- V Kind

I had a friend who had a similar problem with a 6 month old Beemer and they wrote it off. we thought it was some sort of scam as the car was OK to drive after a few days. BMW came back and said the problem was a contamination one ,what ever that means. Good luck though

I heard reference in another post that you can reset the ECU by use of the peddles. Could someone explain how this is achieved. many thanks mark

I'm sooo with you. But as the others say I would get tooo wound up if I thought about it too much. If your on the dole, do something usefull for society - clean off grafiti or make the place nicer to be in, anything. Half the people on the dole have NO intention or working EVER God it makes me MAD !!!!!

I feel for you Nic. Hope you manage to get it sorted without too much bother. I think all of us on this message board are gutted for you. Good luck

Worried now, at what point do I push it to my local stealer?

Welcome - your Z looks the biz

I got beat by the misses twice over the weekend Am in rehab at the moment trying to re-asses my life

After it speaks back the name, you have to say "Dial" This one got me at first....Why do you have to say 'dial' again when you have already said 'dial name/number'? what else would they expect you to do? I agree, I just think it is generally more difficult for us "Marks"

After it speaks back the name, you have to say "Dial"
