You saved my life, the engine was hanging from the cambelt cover by a single bolt, two snapped bolts in the engine.. two bolts from you and a lot of patience with a TINY drill bit and big flat head screw driver and I was OK again.
LOL! Don't you start.
All I have is the bill so far, it's a fortune per day so I'll see what turns up tomorrow.
It'll be nice to finally meet you Danny, we've chatted/you've helped me out without actually meeting

I've spoken to the company personally, he's confident he can make a three week turnaround. If not I get to take whatever courtesy car I'm blessed with tomorrow to the lakes :D
Re: Z4 - Perfect No More (But it's being fixed so it's all OK)
God, keep up mate! How's the Megane?
This advice I could have done with previously.... Cheers though Ollie.
Admiral made it quite clear that I would have to have a lot more input into the process and it would be a lot slower...
Ah excellent, sorry I didnt get around to it mate, proper slipped my mind. Next time you need anything give me a shout and I'll appear faster than you can take the 2.0 16v badges off your clio......
Re: Z4 - Perfect No More (But it's being fixed so it's all OK)
I need a new centre caps all around anyway!
Just got my hire car document through, doesn't say what car it is, need to wait for a call for that, it does however show that whatever it is will cost mr ginger £189 a day!
FLOL!
Re: Z4 - Perfect No More (But it's being fixed so it's all OK)
They just had to phone the other parties insurance to check they had the correct policy in place to provide me with a "prestige courtesy car" because I asked for one of the same standard... LOL!
But quite a few have Danny, and there are some decent pictures showing the problem, the centre of the spacer is not flush with the hub!
Squirrel, ANY of those brand will be fine, I've personally used eibach and FK, the quality was brilliant.

:o
Well I just assumed it was you with your "ring-ness", my apologies.
Well, that sounds scary!!!
I won't be claiming for anything silly, but if the wheel that is refurbed doesn't match the others, I'll want the whole set done...
Right.
I've posted this so many times....
Do NOT scrimp on spacers... yes, some look cheaper, it's because in comparison they're pony.
A few do's:
Please get the spacers that come with bolts, i.e they bolt to the hub and then the wheel bolts to them
Please do not get delta mic's...
Had no idea you were modifying this and totally missed this thread. It looks awesome mate, like the mods so far too.
Owners club sticker does not look good though, quarter of the size and it'd be fine.
It'll be neglected no more! I want to find a shot of it on 18" CSL's before I form my opinion. I'm not going to lose any money on them really, just the small loss when if sold them on, so I am VERY tempted to go for it.
I'd love to come clean (meaning drive) the golf! The 320 was clean as...
Re: Z4 - Perfect No More
Just been and met the assessor... as long as there's nothing insane hidden behind there he won't be writing anything off.
He's declaring it un-roadworthy so that I get my courtesy car ASAP rather than when I drop it off to their workshop, declaring it that also means...
Re: Z4 - Perfect No More
I will properly laugh if I do. Whatever I have, I won't have for long as hopefully it'll be repaired.
If they write if off I'll be proper upset and have the hire car for ages probably!
I hope so, he's scratched a wheel, so I'm not sure what they'll do about...
Re: Z4 - Perfect No More
Knowsit. ;)
Thankfully.
Estimator phoned, will be at mine at 2-2:30. Hopefully I'll get a time estimate once he's finished.
Just had a better look and he's grazed a wheel too... full respray so they match you say?? LOL
I had a bad feeling about that...
I love cleaning the car in summer (sad I know) so it'll be all good until it gets cold when polands finest can take over :o
I'm glad you like the look of it as it was, it looked brilliant. What's you opinion of the CSL wheels Laura?
Re: Z4 - Perfect No More
Cheers all.
Well actually, the young lad tried to only give the Audi driver his details and was just going to drive off and leave mine. It's only that a friend saw it out of the window and ran out that I had any contact!
Re: Z4 - Perfect No More
Been on the phone all morning, and I mean ALL morning.
Everything is now sorted, assessor coming over today/tomorrow.
I have decided not to pick my own bodyshop, I picked the best out of the bunch that were approved. This is because by picking your own bodyshop...
