#ZedShed Zedshed Social Room

[Lee]

Use this thread to ask questions, and talk Zedshed related Nonsense. I’ll make a start.

Zedshed was a capacity today. Some new faces entering the fold. Between all the socialising we still managed to built a Vanos and gearbox indent pins. These jobs are all easily achievable at any Zedshed garage around the Uk.

We play every Saturday feel free to come say hi.

OK I'll ask a Zedshed related question. .
Have you ever replaced the master cylinder pressure sensors on a dsc equipped z3 .
I done a set and found access to the back one very awkward.

I never have mate. Some photos would be appreciated. What was the reason for replacing?

 

[Lee]

We’re also trialing our new sticker. We have this style in white as seen here and black. Just ordering another set with a clear background.

Good fun yesterday, nice to see a few new faces (the old ones aren’t up to much!)

Always amazes me what is achieved in a standard single garage

Life changing moment - Costa strawberry and cream cooler! Cheers Paul

A good day as usual at the place for waifs and strays on a Saturday morning. Coffee order seems to grow in size each week too. @spurs fan in a coupe glad you enjoyed a non coffee drink

Had a good day installing today continuing my rear end refit but got stuck as I could not find my handbrake support 34411163978

and bolts typical as it’s the second set I have misplaced or accidentally thrown away but looking at the ///M trailing arm it has a lip like that part. Have I’ve been buying that part unnecessarily? @Lee

 

[t-tony]

Is it possible you thought you threw the originals away because they were never there in the first place?

Tony.

 

[Althulas]

Possibly Tony I found the old bolts but I’ve bought two sets of the support and bolts since then I only looked at them the other day I think I’m going crackers.

 

[t-tony]

Hope you sort it soon mate.

Tony.

 

[Lee]

Tony’s right. The M don’t use these little brackets. There should be a tiny little ledge already there. Just need those two flat bolts.

 

[Althulas]

I thought as much, at least I can pass on the brackets when they turn up. Shame realoem shows they are needed.

Quick question - anyone know where there's an easy connection to a feed which is only live with the ignition on for daylight running lights - and hopefully under the bonnet?
Thanks
Bill

 

[t-tony]

Z3, Z4?

Tony.

 

[BillH]

Oops, sorry, Z3M

I used to run them off the side lights. But some guys here run a new relay from the fuse box. Plus some fancy relays to dim them when the headlights are on.

 

[t-tony]

Most DRL kits come with a dimming relay and all plug and play. Usually just needing an ignition fed live, a live from the dipped headlight feed (take off back of headlight unit) and an earth. You can pick up an ignition fed live from the fuse box using an "add a fuse" connector.

[BillH]

Thanks Lee, I've wired into the sidelights and all works - would like to have them come on with ignition. I'll investigate the fuse box and relay option. Tony, thanks for the info - these are angel eye replacement headlights so not sure about dimming relay. Sounds more complicated than I thought
