Nearly a year on and time for another update :lol:
As previously mentioned the Nitron suspension was knocking on the last service, I dropped it off last week with Nitron and picked it up on Monday. WOW! what a difference, they have had a full rebuild and the rear shock which was knocking was damaged so has been repaired. Its always been very nervous on the road since having the suspension fitted and after a chat with them when dropping it off they said they would see what they could do. As my kit was one of the very first (it was a kind of test mule) as you can imagine there have been improvements in their subsequent kits. The main issue with mine was the bump steer, this has now been resolved and it gives you so much more confidence on the road. The harsh ride has also been resolved so cats eyes can be driven over without my teeth falling out
I cant thank them enough either as they did all the work FOC! you wouldn't get that from many manufacturers!.
After picking the car up from Nitron I headed straight over to Rich at Performance Autoworks for its annual service and MOT. I have done very limited mileage over the last year (around 4k) so am nowhere near the mileage service schedule, after a discussion and with the likelihood of me now being able to get back out on track, Rich carried out an oil change and gave the car a good going over, checking for loose bolts etc. It also passed the MOT with flying colours and no advisories
Something I hadn't really posted about as well was the wheel refurb I had done a few weeks ago, we took the Z4 to be done at The Wheel Specialist at Fareham, I was so happy with the result, I left my car with them to be done as well.
As the car is getting on a bit these days the paint is really starting to show its age with stone chips (and a small bit of rust around the rear drivers side wheel arch), I really need to make my mind up about a repray/blow over. Just need to find the right paint shop to do the work.
