I got the diagnostic cables and software that I ordered but had to be wrapped up first. Had a quick play today and all talks to each other.

If anybody wants some help give me a call

The famous watch "BMW Z3 Individual" in blue leather strap, number 1920/ 5000, (from ebay) and also the "famous" M44 thermostat (famous because all housings brackets break down in time!), to be replaced in Spring, at the beginning of the new season 2014.
Thank you Santa!:)

Sorry to here that mate I hope it didn't put the fan through the rad.
Too dark to see exactly what has happened, had to abandon the car 2 miles away in a housing estate.

From what I could see one of the blades has trapped in between the cowl and the radiator and won't turn. There isn't actually a gap there, so it looks like that potentially it lodging there may have stopped the blades chewing the rad... Either that or the blade has snapped off!

Will bike down in the morning and see what's occurred...

This is actually the second time I've had a Z3 water pump failure this year. I test drove 2 other Zeds before I bought Rosie and one of them didn't make it back to the garage....

Made a big mess of the blades and radiator.

I done away with the viscous fan and blades and put in an electric one it takes a lot of stress away from the water pump.

And it'll probably be cold as a bi*** when you're trying to look at it. Isn't it wonderful when things wait for the dead of winter to give out?

The water pump just failed :arghh:
Bad luck Gary, hope it is not too much of a problem to sort out. Hopefully it won't be so bad in the morning when you can see exactly what's happened.
