My 2.8

Matt that's the smog pump (auxiliary air pump) fitted only for the US market. It's not required here or needed so you can disconnect the two core cable plug, the hose to the housing on the head and the housing and bin them. You will need a blanking plate to seal the port on the cylinder head and I can supply said blanking plate if you would like one.
I removed the one on my 2000 Z3 and it makes NO difference to the emissions whatsoever.

Thank you Tony for the info very much appricated. How much do you want for the blanking plate and is there much work required fitting it ?
Would tidy the engine bay up too which is a nice bonus

Menage to get the above sorted out and fitted some new chrome dor sills. I'll get some pictures of them and upload.
As it was nice and got chance to get the out for a drive. 2 stone chips later so at least that's out the way lol time to get the springs on order and a full service. Would like more noise but don't want a huge exhaust. I'm thinking of a cone type air filter? Do these cars perform OK with this type of air filter ?

Having trouble with uploading pictures all of a sudden which is annoying. Says security issue but I think it's to do with the size if the pictures

We have seen issues with certain cameras and phones which produce really large image and file sizes.

It's odd as I've has the same phone 6 months p20 Pro and up until now it's be fine.. Not that I'm expert on IT at all
