What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[Vas]

Removed drivers side wheels and cleaned with IronX all the way through the barrel of the wheel. I'll do passenger side another weekend as part of brake bleed project.

Time for some new updated center caps

Changed differential fluid, wasnt too bad despite having to disconnect the sway bar and go buy a 14mm hex bit

I agree. It's on my list. What do you recommend?

I did that service last week. But I didn't have to disconnect sway bar. It was a bit tight though. I used a ratchet wrench and it just managed to fit.

Yeah it was close, if I had a shorter 14mm I could get it, the fluid that came out of it looked almost like the new stuff I put in there so maybe it was previously changed.

That's funny...the fluid I drained from my differential also look pretty clean but I don't have any records of the owner making that service. I did change the manual transmission fluid yesterday. That came out black as the night sky so I was glad I changed that.

My seals are cracking too. Just the upper part where is curves aka the Nike swoosh.

Never heard of the Hofmeister kink referred to as that!

This piece. I ordered the matte accidentally, but it's attached to the glossy trim. I'll also fix the upper seal while I've got it all taken apart.

How do you plan to fix the upper seal? Mine is cracked and if I recall a new one is $200+ for each side.

Installed my eLight module I just got in the mail--wanted something like the "Welcome Lights" feature as I'm often parked in a lot fairly late that isn't that well lit. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzA...ew?usp=sharing

I guess I'm confused. It was my understanding that you can't buy that seal separately and that it's integrated into the window trim...
