I've got some of the standard parts already but to be honest I'd rather not go down that road at this stage to be honest. Thanks anyway.

**SOLD** Due to a recent change in job I have decided to test the water for my 2.8 Z3. Rather than go through all the details again I have included a link to the full advert on Pistonheads. I have spent a lot of time and money on this car since I bought it from another forum member and it is now loo...

Could you also send the photos to h5tho@talktalk.net along with some other information about the car (service history etc).

Looks like I'll need a new soft top for my Z3. Knifed last night in mohair roof and back window.

My zed came with a rear strong strut brace (and a front) on and I've had no ground clearance issues on my 17's.

I've tried reading through the many threads on speaker upgrades and I can't see the answer to my question. The rear speakers on my Z3 (it has the HK system) are past their best and I just remembered that I had an unused pair of Alpine SXE 1025S 4" speakers but I'm not sure if they will fit in. ...

I hadn't realised that our alloys didn't fit in the boot of the zed in the event of a puncture :shock: , I suppose thats probably because my car doesn't have a spare wheel as it was removed as part of the modifications to suit the quad exhaust system. My boot is armed with a can of tyre weld just in...

Fantastic colour combo

. Isn't it typical that the cars we want are always at the other end of the country. I had to travel to Wakefield from Dunbartonshire for my Zed but my previous Lotus followed the reverse route of yours, easyjet to Bristol and all the way home in a 92 elan.

Just checked my paperwork and it was £54 after I got my £35 exchange deposit back.

hi , can anyone help with a wee problem i got on my 1998 z3 , when i go out for a drive it seems the passenger side brakes keep binding and get realy hot but when you stop for a while then set off again they seem a bit free'r but then back to binding again in a short time. have had it looked at and...

Hllo all, hope someone can help me. I'm in Edinburgh and someone has stuck a knife through the top of my Z3. There's a 3 or 4 inch tear al the way through above the passenger seat. Can anyone give me some advice on epair / replacement? I have a £400 excess on my insurance and it's a 2001 model, so ...

Sounds like the same problem that I had and I'm sure one of the first parts of the resyncing process disarms the alarm. When I had to do it I followed one of the posts on here and I eventually got it to work.

Congratulations on your purchase. I went from a 1992 Lotus Elan to a 2.8 a few weeks ago and I've found it great so far. As you say it is far more refined etc but then again my Elan had slightly more creature comforts than yours did.

Thanks for the comments, this is a replacement for my previous car that I sold in December it was a Lotus Elan (FWD type), I was looking for something a bit more refined and it seems to have ticked the boxes so far.

After a three month search I finally picked up my zed, its zroadster.net member "fixer"s 2.8. I got it last week after a 500 mile round trip but it seems to be worth it. I was initially looking for a standard example but this one came up with the right mileage and history and all the extra...

Good luck with your search, I'm in a similar situation except my budget is up to £4.5K bit I'm only looking at a 2.8 or a 3.0 if I'm lucky.

I'd recommend a 3.0 over a 2.8 as they have DSC, so stretch your budget or haggle very hard. From a 2.8 driver too :roll: Some for sale on here too, which guarantee's an enthusiast car (most of the time). Thanks for the advice, I've decided that I'm not going to rush into buying one, although being...

You should find a 2.8 at that money, but I doubt you'd see a 3.0, even in this market, but happy hunting. I realise the 3.0 might be pushing it a bit, but a couple are for sale in the autotrader for around £4500 and thats before haggling, although they are around the 90,000 mile mark, so it was on ...

Im in the market for a Z3 2.8 or 3.0 manual, must be below 80,000 with a FSH. I'm looking for one with air conditioning and heated seats. I've just sold my lotus so my budget is £4500 for the right car. I'm in Glasgow and I would prefer not to travel too far but I would for the right car.
