ZedShed (Midlands)

[t-tony]

Hi guys, just a heads up. The Shed will be open for some jobs on March 4th. 1st. job a service on a 23i E89 Z4. Ramp and pit available.

Tony.

ps. I have been carrying out Quality Control of the Cafe since last time and butties are still

 

[AleNod]

That time already ? If your bonnet is up I can do the run to The Buttie Cafe to help out, no problem . . .

Be good to see you bud . . .

 

[AleNod]

Actually @t-tony . People are telling me to change my gearbox oil. Possibly also my diff oil although I am not quite so sure about that tbh. I think a pumpy thing (technical term) is required. Is there time to squeeze that in - I can order from Opie Oils ?

 

[t-tony]

I'm sure we could do that Alex. I don't think your mileage would warrant Diff. oil change but sounds as though changing the gear oil would help.

Tony.

ps. We have a device for refilling gearbox and Diff. oils.

No jobs to do but may pop over for a chin wag. Be good to have a catch up

 

[Z Victor 1]

Yes, might drive over and get in the way!

 

[t-tony]

Be good to catch up Dave.I didn't expect you would have anything to do mate

Tony.

 

[t-tony]

You’ll be very welcome Ken if you decide to come over.

Tony.

 

[Z Victor 1]

Haven't got anything to do that I could do at the 'shed' , but it would be good to catch up.

 

[Zephyr]

This is not fair at all. Not fair.
I am here all alone…..

 

[Z Victor 1]

On the plus side @Zephyr you're not freezing !

 

[Mus Musculus]

Would it be OK if I popped around to meet some of you guys? I don't think I have anything specific that needs doing, but I am sure I could learn a thing or two about the Z...

 

[t-tony]

You are more than welcome .

Tony.

Had a reasonably busy day at the Shed yesterday an E85 for O&F, G/box and Diff. oils changed. Also a new clock spring on the column. A 330d Est. same treatment plus front discs and pads, but this was an auto box so needed to pump a few inches of water out of the pit. Still got our Gary's projects here so the Shed was left in a bit of a tip yesterday,

By 5.00 today ship shape and Bristol fashion.

So I could at least put my car inside, complete with new number plates.

They look so much nicer without a front one though.

Tony.

I finished a little job today taking advantage of the very mild daytime temperature.
A coat of clear coat on the inside of the 19" wheel which I had to have repaired at MOT time last year. I painted it a few weeks ago.
These wheels are, IIRC, style 296 . . .

Full set ready for sale now.

Tony.

 

[Mus Musculus]

Really good work Tony. Pit they are bit too big for my lowly Z3…

 

[Philpatton]

Evening Tony, I'll pop over as Zed needs a service. Oil and filters, so shouldn't take too long, but always time for a bacon sandwich!

[t-tony]

Be good to see you mate.

Tony.

 

[Paul Rice]

Will be over around ten, hopefully get a chance to change coolant.

 

[t-tony]

I thought you had a BMWCC
event Paul? But not a problem we'll get 'er done.

Tony.
