Parts collecting has started again.
What have you bought for your Zed this week?
- Thread starter bombur
- Start date
Four new Avon tyres. New aerial grommet and aerial.
You wore a set out already !?
Not really. I ordered these and a set for the family car a few months ago. Just replaced them all without thinking about it because the other car’s were knackered.
You should fit a set of new wipers every year without looking at them, just as important as tyres.

Set of new boots.
Wiper blades regularly get a wipe of malt vinegar on a tissue. Average car ownership 8 years, not changed wipers other than on the Z3 that was laid up for 9 years; therefore 1 set changed in 24+ years.
Bought a second hand Ctek MXS 3.8 before I went away for the Z3, figured it didn't need recondion step so went for this model instead of the 5.0. Much cheaper. Anyway have just plugged the Z3 onto it, so both cars now on charge

I bought an alternator... but it didn't fit (returned it). So, I removed and installed the alternator 2x in parking lots in "not my city"... and an Alternator Rebuild shop put another Voltage Regulator in the existing alternator. .. and voila! oh... and I bought a toolset, and LED worklights, and gloves... and a hotel room. As many of you know, the 115amp "compact" Bosch alternator is vapor-ware. The Voltage Regulator was $65... installed!
Replaced under warranty Yuasa YBX5096 Silver battery.
Test fit with 380mm disc for my 35is and my 'cooked' F serie
s calipers..they looked pretty big till I perched them on this boy!
Steering wheel, gaiters and handbrake handle, retrimmed in black alcantara with orange stitching, courtesy of Roya Steering Wheels. I'm in love with them! 
The best £35 spent all year. A nice new 12 months MOT, with no advisories. Result.

It seems a lot but the shocks springs and bushes were 25 years old and have done 125k miles 50k with me.
