I'm the same, just feels wrong when its dirty mate
Introducing... Smurf!!!
- Thread starter Mnbrennan
- Start date
Can't wait to get the snow off mine in about three- fiour weeks and give it the spring cleaning. JIM
Couple of issues sorted recently
1. Cooling system fixed! More here: https://zroadster.org/threads/mystery-solved-smurfs-cooling-system.22533/
2. Brake pad wear sensors replaced, due to a light on the dash
3. Airbag light sorted. Was getting a drivers side pre tensioner error. I removed the seat to find the wiring worn through (below). I rewire the tensioner and reset the light and I'm pleased to say it's gone now
Time for an MOT!

Good work, nice satisfying little fixes
Unfortunately the Smurf failed its MOT on two things
I thought the tyres were just legal but must have scrubbed off too much at Silverstone on Monday
I thought I'd check the age of the tyres
That's right my friends, these awful "Fulda Carat Extreme" tyres were produced the 12th week of 2001, making them 17 years old! I can't believe I did a track session on them!
Some Michelin Pilot Sport 4s are in the pipeline...
- Front tyres below minimum
- Near side headlight too high.

Today I finally had chance to install the extended leather I've had for about 10 months. The binnacle needed repair

A bit fiddly but all done in 5 hours. I've a few bits of leather to tidy up with scuffmaster
Very happy!

That looks the business Martin, cracking turn round in 5 hours mate. Top work.

Great Job, freshens the interior up
What a superb interior - makes my plain black look very boring!
And 5 hours to do the job - simply amazing! Just shows how user-friendly the Z3 design really is.

Nice one Martin looks great

Amazing job Martin, I had enough of a struggle removing one piece of trim on the Z3 to grease the clutch pedal!!
Are you bringing Smurf to the NF run next Sunday? Would be great to see in the flesh!

Bet that's one job out of the way you didn't fancy doing? It's not actually a hard job just takes time and it's worth it in the end, looks great. I still need to get my red ones in must have had them 18 months now.
wow looks like a massive job! fair play for cracking on!
Jeez that looks a lot of work
