Now I thought all cars had splash guards. Interesting that some don't but car they better off because of it?

As above Steve, yes, I think they are, but the issue with the Z3 and a lot of other cars is, this is where the parking brake shoes are mounted so the Z's can't do without, at least not until they are equipped with parking brake callipers.

#ZedShed on a Wednesday? Oh go on then! A night of varied shenanigans, but initially changing the water pump, thermostat and belts on Steve's Zed. More updates of other stuff on other threads later!

By the time I arrived Lee had almost finished, so I had an easy evening. Some pics he took...

Old thermostat, still looks in good condition. Think it's been changed at some stage in it's life already though.

The top cover was off to change the spark plugs, however GSF through us a curve ball and only supplied 4 spark plugs. Wasn't noticed until Lee got back with the bag of bits... So the engine flush, oil and spark plugs have been delayed for now.

This evenings antics was the finishing touches. First was the before and after of the radiator hose.

After:

Then i began the engine flush. With Valvoline which ive found to be great, It really reduced Gaz's oil usage after one use.

Finished changing the plugs:

Then I finished up making sure there were no codes on the ECU.
