Saturday #ZedShed progress on Vixen was to look at a couple of different things. Rocking seats, possibly faulty "yaw" sensor causing issues with the ABS/TSC and to fit the Storm Motorwerks V1 gear knob Sam mentioned above (Sam has posted pics of the Storm above).
Taking the seats out is pretty straightforward, and there are plenty of threads on he detailing how to do so. Basically 2 nuts at the front, and 2 bolts at the back. Once the seats are out, you can easily remove the mechanism and then fit the new bushes.

Meanwhile it Vixen
@pgunter &
@Oldguysrule were busy locating and removing the yaw sensor. This sits in the passenger foot well under the carpets.

Of course, with this being a Z3 it can get pretty damp under the carpets. Water ingress then causes the unit to fail. The plan here is to remove the yaw sensor, have a look and look to try it out and see what happens. Worst case it will need a replacement unit.

Once the carpets were lifted on the passenger side it was obvious that there was a lot of water in there. When Vixen was purchased the dealer had broken the rear screen and it rained overnight. We are starting to think it may have been broken a bit longer than they said. The drivers side however was considerably wetter.
Trev started to squeeze the water out the sound proofing foam under the carpets and then sponge it up and decant in to an old plastic bowl.

It's going to take a while for interior to get dry with the amount of water still in there, but you have to start somewhere. This was about 10 minutes of squeezing and sponging with much more to go.
