Would I be right in thinking you want it for the top nut ? Hubby bought one of these and ground the thickness of the end down so it would fit in the recess. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SYKES-PICKAVANT-22MM-DIESEL-INJECTOR-SOCKET-01510300-/380150015298?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item5882b4e542 Ye...

I was going to take the Z3 out yesterday only to find it had a flat battery. Put the charger on it for only 2 hours and it said it was fully charged. It started fine and everything was normal.

Re: Distance

If you only use the car for 1.5 to 2 miles runs, I hope you change the engine oil frequently - about every 2000 miles or so. You would be better off walking - and so would your poor car! Agree.

I filled a can of "Fuel conserver" in the full tank and rode some km's. I will also say that it will be best to change oil and filter before storage. (Castrol Edge 5W30 forinstance). Check the cooolant freezingpoint!
