Many Thanks

OEM wind deflector wnted for 97 1.9. Woulkd prefer type 1 as I already have the parts fitted but someone obviously kept the deflector when they sold the car at some point

If any one has a wind deflector for a car WITHOUT roll bars then please PM me.
Many Thanks
Helen

ms.smally

thanks guys. I am ordering the adapters today. They are being custom made and should take 3-5 days to be done. I will post some pics as soons as I get them fitted.

(excited now!!!)

ms.smally

thanks guys. Sorry about the calculation error, as stated, I dont really understand how these things work :oops: hence the post. Yes, the spacers are 20mm and are being custom made to have the correct bore size on each size, so no spigot rings are needed to keep the wheels hubcentric. The wheels are...

ms.smally

come on guys,
I'll make it simple. Will an 8X18" wheel with an offset of ET42 and 225 40 18 tyres go on a Z3????
someone must know

ms.smally

Hi I know there is a lot of information on here about wheel fitment, but it is a topic I know very little about and wondered if anyone could offer some specific advice about these wheels. The wheels I have are 18" with a PCD of 5X100 and a bore size of 73.1mm. I know that the Z3 has a PCD of 5X...

ms.smally

Just wanted to check, am I right in thinking that the Z3 uses ATF in the Power Steering pump, rather than standard Power Syeering Fluid?

If so are there any particular recommendations on which brand etc is best to use?

Thanks
Helen

weren't they built in The US? lol

ms.smally

ain't it good when your dedication pays off?!

ms.smally

I forgot to mention, I am changing the thermostat, will I still have to drain the block or can I just flush it through with the thermostat disconected?

thank you again. I do have air con, so I guess its a creeper job....

ms.smally

wow, whats wrong with them exactly??

Mike Fishwick wrote:Yes - It'sgood practice to replace the platic radiator plug, and the sealing washer on the block drain plug - which is at the back of the block, on the driver's side.

so the block plug is accessed from below then, theres no way it can be seen from above?

ms.smally

so I should be looking tolocte two seperate drain plugs?

I have the blue one at the bottom right of the radiator, can anyone give me guidence towards the other one?

Thanks again

ms.smally

Hi guys After doing a search I have found some useful tips, but the only step by step I could find was for the 2.8 engine. Does anyone have a basic guide to flushing and refilling the coolant on a 1.9? I am fairly competamt so it doesnt have to be too detailed, just a guide as to where the drain plu...

Why not try the deactivating with a code first, as in my posts, then sync the fobs as in the instructions you have

sadly, I dont have the codes

ms.smally

well........
I have now located the correct 8 pins (yay!) but when I short them, absolutely nothing happens (boo!)
Getting peeved now......(grrr)

ms.smally

brilliant, thanks for that info, too late to check it now but I know exactly the part you mean. Will have another go tomorrow.
Thanks again, very helpful!

ms.smally

Doesn't putting the key in the ignition and starting disarm the alarm? My memory is a little rusty. I think the alarm and immobiliser are entirely independant. The chip in the key de activates the imobiliser (hence why you cant start the car with a screwdriver) but as far as I know the actual alarm...

ms.smally

brilliant, thanks

ms.smally

the problem is that the alarm is armed and neither fob is being recognised so I cant turn it off and as far as I know, the reprogramming can't be done until the alarm is disarmed (is this right?) I was under the impression that it was the jumping of the pins that was needed to dis arm the alarm in o...

ms.smally

probably just needs the mechanism adjusting slightly. Just 2 cross head screws to loosen the latch, line it up and re tighten. Simples!

ms.smally

just discovered a light grey drain pipe in the boot, (see below) can anyone tell me when it is supposed to be running from and to?
Many Thanks

ms.smally

I have had the problem with a dealer fitted alarm (seperate fobs) going out of sync after the batteries in the fobs went dead. I have followed the instructions on here as best as I can but when ever I jump the pins either nothing happens or the alarm just goes off. Can someone please confirm if I am...

ms.smally

On what model Z3? I'm guessing if you have fogs, then you have a 1.9, therefore it won't have sidelights on the bumper and one of the connectors is probably for these. Another one may well be for the outside temperature probe. And the third for headlight washers. Anyone think of anything else? Chee...

ms.smally

am I right in thinking that to replace the bulbs in these they have to be pryed downwards? Just thought Id ask because they seem pretty stiff.
Thanks

ms.smally

Just replaced my missing drivers side fog light and dicovered that the loom has 3 ends, only one of which plugs into the fog. Does anyone know what theother two connectors are for? (one standard 3 prong female conector and one wiered round thingy)
Thanks

Hi I have an annoying buzzing sound that comes from the engine bay when the keys are turned to position one and lasts for a minute or so after you turn it back. It doesnt seem tohappen when the engine is running. Having had a good look round, I have traced the noise to the electrical componant next ...

Hi I have bought a new set of red leather seats from a 2000 Z3. These ones are heated. I was just going to replace my none heated ones and just leave them non heated. However, I have been pondering and wondered if it is possible to fit them as fully working heated seats to my 97? Can anyone offer an...

ms.smally

After all this I've decided to have another go at tweaking my bonnet and managed to split the rubber adjuster at the front :head: that'll teach me to leave well alone - Anybody know the partcode for the front adjusters as the ones shown on realoem look like they have the little plungy bits ? lol I'...

ms.smally

The way I did the adjustment is as follows: 1. Remove the two catches that hold the bonnet down (you may be able to just de-activate them by wedging open the bonnet release lever. 2. Put a blob of vaseline onto the heads of each of the 4 rubber stoppers. Lower the bonnet gently and see whether all ...

ms.smally

Hi all Day three of messing around and I think some progress has been made. One of the bonnet catches was missing a bit and so not engaging which didnt help but we have been round the houses doing all the relevant tweaks and have gotten things tidyed up considerably. Here is how we ended up http://i...

ms.smally

no strut brace but good thinking, I have had that problem with other cars in the past, the clearance can be minute. I am hoping the main problem can be rectified with a new 'springy bit' for the bonnet catch. I will be checking it first thing and will let you know how I get on. Thanks for your help ...

ms.smally

nice gap canman! unfortunately those blocks were my first thought and are already all the way up. The problem now seems to be that the bonnet is not far enough down, but I am reluctant to start messing with the bonnet allignment. :( Just a thought, but is the bonnet latch working correctly? or is i...

ms.smally

thanks Tim I do think yours is quite a bit smaller than mine :shock: (oohh err) According to the link posted earlier the gaps should be around 5mm and I think mine is nearly double that. My husband is a perfectionist and this is almost enough to make him sell the car :bawl: I have noticed that the b...

ms.smally

thank you for the pointer. I was aware of the hex bolt adjustment, but cant really see how that will help me as it only alters that height of the middle of the bumper and my problem is at the ends. As it happens, there is virtyally no gap between the bumper and the bonnet in the mid section, it clos...

Hi I am a new Z3 owner and have spent the best part of 2 days (one in pouring rain!) trying to close up the gaps between my bonnet and front bumper. This is the best I can do: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v698/flairman/20-03-10_1458.jpg I have had the bumper off completely by removing the two h...
