Hello, newbies at the Silverstone Zedfest.

[Helga]

Hi Everyone.

We bought our Zed a few years ago, but only attended our first club event yesterday ... the Silverstone Classic Zedfest.

We met some lovely people, and had a super time.

A big thank you to the organisers ... that took a lot of work.

Hope to meet again at future Zed events.



Viv and Kelvin

Hi,
Having just bought a Z3 it was my first time at an event with Z owners too. Everyone seemed really helpful and my son and I had a lovely time. I managed to obtain advice about a metallic clonk...which I've experienced on braking.. As it happens the advice lead to me fixing the problem so thanks to Ian or Graham, the brake pad had delaminated from the metal backing. I fitted new disks and pads for £80 and she is now silent as a mouse! Hope you are well Pete....is was good to meet you and your wife.

Hi Saxman it was good to meet you, glad you sorted your brakes.it was a good day,cant wait till the next trip

 

[Aceman]

Hey Saxman,

I am the Ian who you spoke to, so my guess at delaminated pads was spot on then

Glad you are now sorted and can get around to driving your zed with confidence. When you get chance post some pictures up we like to see each others pride and joys on here.

Thanks Ian!
Am going on holiday so as a surprise I've loaned the car to my dad..... He thinks it's wonderful. I'll post pictures ASAP what is the best way to do this?

I have been working hard on the Z3. Had a cloudy rear plastic window but 2 hours with a clay bar and detailer( inside and out and eventually the whole thing was clear! If you're considering replacement....might be worth a try!!

Hi,
I know that we spoke about how great your car looked at Silverstone. I will be leaving my Z3 outside this winter and wondered if you could let me know what cover you used as clearly it did a great job!
Best wishes,
David

Hi Dave , yes i've kept her covered for six years, on my third cover now. they are good but do degrade after about 2 years. i am starting to look for a new one now,

Hi Pete, I just wondered what make and model cover you have used. I've heard that they can catch your paint work but your Z3 looked immaculate!
