Another few jobs done on th Z this weekend including the zero tango milestone!
first though, bought a tri-colour stitched wheel off this very forum for great price and fitted it with my exisiting airbag.
really simple process.
Need to disable the alrm first using this keyhole on top of the siren
disconnect battery (10mm socket)
remove lower steering cowl (one philips screw and some clips)
unscrew airbag from behind steering wheel ( 2 x t30 torx)
pop airbag off and disconnect two wires (horn and airbag)
unbolt 16mm center bolt, force needed!
disconnect wires from under the cowl (2 connectors on my single phase bag)
yank wheel off
reverse the whole process.
whilst the wheel was off i used the sapce to replace some blown dash bulbs
sucker needed to pull binnacle out.
BMW handily make note of which bulb goes where! much better
Next was to finally rid the Z of amber.
the process is really simple, 4 x 8mm screws to each light, easily accessed with an extension.
4 connectors and then they pop out.
i removed the airbox and washer bottle to give myself more room (again really simple to remove)
also drilled some holes in my airbix for more noise, no icnrease at idle but a much much better noise at WOT.
Headlights back in and finished.
