i really do miss it. saw yours the other week, think it was on a sunday near the new asda roundabout. yeh, hoping to sell the house soon, so hopefully that will free up some pennies to buy another. think 2.8 or 3.0 might be a bit much for me, but would love a 2.0 or 2.2

_wendy_

how is the car doing? still missing my baby

there was a whole watchdog news item regarding this not so long ago. it was a very high percentage of service books that were now frauds, hence why a dealer service history doesnt count for too much anymore. Unless you can pick a random dealer that has stamped the book and phone them to verify it.

_wendy_

just for info, my chrome ones came from dealer and cost £120 last year

_wendy_

yes its a forum user, im sure they will be on here at some point, though they have a bit of a drive first back up to scotland - im sure they will love it. yes, got what i wanted - in money terms anyway

_wendy_

car is now sold

_wendy_

i will be back for sure. just need to get finances back in order. im selling the car, then the house is going on market, so we can have fresh start and clear the debts. if can get enough left over from sale of house, i will def be back.
i will be devastated when this car goes, but needs must sadly

_wendy_

_wendy_

there are photos on the first post, but if you want particular pictures let me know what of and will get them for you tomorrow

_wendy_

yes it is, Tom SK is interested tho and said would let him know when the car has the 12 months MOT - which will hopefully be next weekend - just short of time for getting it booked in at moment. ut if you are interested, let me know

_wendy_

its such a lottery getting insurance. these posts just show the huge variation in prices, for little variation in cover

_wendy_

mine is for SDP commuting and business use too. with protected NCD at 10 years - legal cover aswell. myself and named driver with 3 speeding points in 2007. costs £300

_wendy_

Jim

which is the same as me last year. cheapest this year was £300, so beware when renewal comes

_wendy_

mine too went up this year, my renewal price was cheapest i could get. i ended up paying £300, which is £60 more than last year. thats with 10 years no claims discount and hubby as named driver who has 3 points for speeding.

_wendy_

still for sale

_wendy_

slight off topic here, but a member on another forum i go on has been trying to sell an autoglym kit for a while, she wants £7 plus £2 postage, but may even be open to offers on it. might be of use to someone. i would have snapped it up, but already have a kit here unopened http://www.reptileforums....

_wendy_

Hi there, it has service history stamped up until 2004. there are a couple of reciepts from the previous owner with bills for brakes, tyres etc. I have kept any reciepts i have had for work done, but thats about it. the round thing on the dash, took me ages to work out too - however it makes sense w...

_wendy_

thanks. im so torn about selling it, be we are in financial **** at the moment, maxed out on credit card, overdrafts etc. this is one of the only assets we have, so needs to go really

im willing to consider part ex for a different car, with cash my way - at least 1k cash. try me

_wendy_

still for sale. money pretty urgent now

_wendy_

dont think any would be as friendly

_wendy_

the 323 is a newer car - 3 years newer in fact, only one previous owner. the mpg is about the same as i get for the zed, and would get around £1500 back from selling the zed, and buying the 323. the insurance increase is only minimal aswell

_wendy_

yeh it is pampered, used everyday-rain, snow and sunshine. im just at point now where i dont have any money to do anymore tweaks to it, and we have serious debts

have spotted a 323i today that i have really fallen for, so if i can sell mine for right money, then thats my option.

_wendy_

Im really torn with this one, the z has always been my dream car, since i used to walk past them at the BMW garage everytime i went to sign on the dole! never thought one day i would own one. But, money is tight and have got an option to buy another car, which would free up some cash to pay some deb...

_wendy_

we had a mio pda for years and always said we wouldnt have an ordinary sat nav. then the pda broke and at that time halfords had a fantastic half price offer on tomtoms, so we bit the bullet. now we would never look back, we have the XL live and its fantastic. love having the google on it so you can...

I am now with Admiral on a Multicar Policy. . . . . . . . it saved me a fortune. Daily driver renewal was £499 reduced to £278 and the Zed reduced from £289 to £218. Both were with the same excesses, annual mileages etc. There are 2 other cars on the policy, my wife's and my son's and both of them ...

_wendy_

Mine went down £8 this year to £264 for a 2.8 6k miles/year and no extra charge for a strut brace. :D We do have a house and 3 cars insured fully comp. with Aviva.The lot costs us just under £1K/year. tried aviva earlier and they wanted £350 - and that was supposedly with 2 months free. last year b...

_wendy_

Got the same issue, nearly 50 with over 30 years without claim or incident and still being quoted nearly 400 quid for my 1.9 fully comp!!! :x Still, what can you do! thats more than i pay. last year mine was £250 for my 1.9, gone up to £300 this year. done lots of quotes though and my existing one ...

_wendy_

well its that time of year again, renewal time - annoyingly on both our car at same time. anyway renewal has come and its gone up £50, to around £300. so am shopping around. however when i put my car reg number in it always comes back at a 2.0. i dont know why this is, but no doubt it will have some...

_wendy_

yep. thats why can never afford a holiday

_wendy_

well the benefits of working in Education - 6 weeks off starts today! bring it on

_wendy_

have lost one of mine

dont know whether fell of or got nicked, but im down to one. so after payday will purchase another set

_wendy_

my central locking works with the key, so yes im guessing your should. If i undo from drivers door, it just does both doors. if i undo from the boot, it does boot and both doors

_wendy_

mines a 1.9 z3 1997, i also have 1 key with torch on. was told it wasnt remote locking. howver there should be a fob for the alarm, but mine is missing

_wendy_

i guess im not your usual z3 driver - judging by all your jobs. Im a teaching assistant for 11-18 year olds.

_wendy_

as far as history goes, having watched fake britain the other night, i would say service history doesnt count for very much anymore - unless of course it can all be verified. my car doesnt have bmw service history, just various receipts etc, so would hope people wouldnt judge all cars on service his...

_wendy_

ive just had the same thing, some rattle under the car, that was worse on slow speeds. got hubby to look under car and he said heat shield is loose between exhaust and fuel tank??? so thats something to check for

_wendy_

halfords do a few different ones, we went and looked at them but couldnt decide which to go for, so came away with none. oopes. any recommendations?

_wendy_

i understand that, but that would be the case year round. im talking about a serious increase in zeds in summer months

_wendy_

do people really ownly use their car a few months of the year?? around here through the winter ive hardly spotted another zed. now everyday too and from work i see a few zeds a day. where have they all come from? i really cant believe so many people would only use them in the summer months. with the...

_wendy_

no worries, we used the giltbrook one - which is the new one. ws going to use kams at heanor, but they quoted £140 - which was cheapest we found until this one. if you get eastwood kimberley advertiser there is also 10% off voucher - or on the website u can print off a 5% off voucher. every saving h...

_wendy_

well after ringing round for last few weeks for quotes for the car to be serviced, a new garage opened up within walking distance of where we live, so we called in this morning while out to get a quote. bearing in mind car needed full service as has not been serviced in over a year - he said they we...

_wendy_

i bought one from halfords. is a ripspeed one, came with several different screw thread fittings. cost £10 which didnt think was bad.

_wendy_

my little bro is 6'7. admitedly he only sat in passenger seat, but he commented at how much room there was! he said he was surprised as most 'ordinary' cars are a squeeze for him.my hubby however is about 6' and moans everytime he gets in the car about lack of headroom and that his head always is in...
