if you ring up your local bmw dealer you can buy the all the bits to tighten it up for about 30 pound, just describe your problem they should know what bits are responsable. also a z3 shift lever helps know end.

the wet patch does feel a bit greasy I thought it might have just been some old carpet shampoo mixing with the water. do you reckon this could be the heater valve.

Re: si board batterys

no they are funny little 3 v batterys in my opinion mate you would be better to get a new board as the batterys are soldered in and are covered with a rubber silocone so are very hard to get out. i got my board for 40 pound. i still have problems though........... :mad:
