Not worth us getting involved. It’s too far away.
If it’s trailered to you?
Therein lies the problem: where to take the car which will be both experienced and trustworthy to do the work and look after the car. Women really are messed around with some of the motor trade as @Shelly knows and as do I. We need our friends here to help from time to time so come guys, first of all, do any of you on here have the experience and knowledge to identify the issues and then fix them, please?
Sure if it’s trailered to me. The cost will be huge. I’ve not kept up with this thread I’m assuming you’ve not tried another garage that specialises in either rebuilds or replacement engines. Many around.
T'was more in hope than anger Shelley. If your Z is on a trailer then the distance is less of a stumbling block. It's inconceivable that there's not an equivalent reliable place nearer you. The trick is finding one! Good Luck!
Thank you for all your replies
I phoned up BMW in Norwich on Monday
But they haven’t even got back to me yet
It seams like they don’t want to touch it either and it’s there own car
Alan has emailed a few companies on Wednesday and we’re waiting to hear back from them too

They’ll be someone or some company that can help @Shelly I’ll ask Chris today and I’ll also ask Mark who is the indy mechanic that I use. Both are very good and may know someone over your way. I’ll let you know how I get on.Thank you for all your replies

You’re welcome @ShellyThank you very much
Its kind of you
I’ve spoken with Mark and he says to get someone from here with a code reader to see if it will identify what the problem is.
He doesn’t know anyone over your way that he can signpost you to, unfortunately, but he says you must have a diagnostic done to determine what’s the matter. Is there anyone on here that can help @Shelly please?
He’s said how odd it is that the garage has had your beautiful Z all this time and not identified what the problem is.
I’ll ask Chris next and get back to you.

They are in Huntingdon when googled around 100 miles from you if you end up having to reach out further afield just thought I'd fling my suggestion in
I really hope you manage to get your zed back up and running right again.
