Afternoon mate, I tried exactly what you did to begin with, I just upgraded the speakers in the footwells and behind the seats but with the same headunit very little noticable effect. So i hunted around for a headunit with a good Amp built in as i dont want to route cables all over the place for an...

weedram

Works very well, thanks

weedram

I used Halfords "Shock and Unlock" which released mine and didn't cause any damage

weedram

Its what happens when you leave it outside with the hood down

weedram

Some photos and description would help

weedram

It's only a piece of cake until you come to do it next time!!!

Hi Olly Not the answer to your question but we have done eurotrips over the last two years, we shrinked wrapped our clothes in vacuum bags using a hoover and put them in the boot and behind the seats. Its amazing how much you can get on board. Important to make sure you have access to a hoover where...

Hi Steve Thanks for that. It would be worth checking your seat belt for friction burn marks, which show as a smooth area across the weave of the fabric, this would indicate that the belt has been in use in an accident. If that it the case I wouldn't use it as the belt will have been weakened. Hope t...

Hi Steve
Hope you don't mind me asking
Did you buy a brand new belt, if so, where from and what did it cost?

Regards
Phil

weedram

LOL But don't give up the day job

Hi Mick

If you let me have the rs part number I would appreciate it

Thanks
Phil

Hi Micklaw

Thanks for your reply

Yes the speakers dead but one of the pins on the connector to the wiring harness has broken so I think it has to be a new speaker all together.

How did you test the relay

Cheers

weedram

Wanted - a passenger side foot well speaker for a 2001 3.0l Z3. Must include the attached circuit board etc

Or

Is it easy to replace with non BMW speakers?

Phil

weedram

Don't know if he's got any more but worth ringing as he's breaking beemer's all the time

weedram

Thanks Mike, never know when I might need one

I've had a problem with the two warning lights for dsc being on intermittently for a few months before staying on all the time since July. Looked on here to get advice - cleaned the wheel sensors - disconnected the battery - all to no avail. Had it checked out with various software and finally took ...

weedram

A good link

Thanks

weedram

Hi gedo,
I've just looked at the eBay link you gave, it says it comes with comprehensive set of installation instructions. Are they no good as you say you have followed the installation guide on bimmer forums. Just wondered what the difference was.

Regards
Phil

Hi Kevin

Sorry can't help with the indie but as l have a similar problem with the dsc I would be very interested in your outcome.

Cheers

Before I had a satnav I used to use maps, they were called patnav. It was very good and included voice navigation but it suffered with it's auto rotation. If we travelled north everything was fine but if going south its rotation didn't include the text and all the writing was upside down, this used ...

Jam_boy You can download a "dangerous areas" poi for france from garmin which gives areas such as railway crossings, schools and camera locations, better still you can download it for free on a one months trial. I'm off to france on Thursday, touring the alps, so if I find any problems i'l...

I purchased a garmin 2595 lmt with european maps off amazon for £170 and £30 cash back a couple of weeks ago, its now £165. What a piece of kit, really good. I previously used copilot on an htc phone, no comparison. The 2595 includes bluetooth, traffic and upto date maps, costs extra for speed camer...

Whilst I have no intention of DIY replacing my spark plugs l have to applaud chrisp_1 for a very informative and comprehensive article. Do you work Haynes?

The forum never fails to amaze me with the information that's available. Keep up the good work

weedram

I remember going up hardknott in the rain and mist, all you could see was the headlights of cars coming down the pass, it was like watching the flight path of incoming planes at heathrow. Great drive though, hope you enjoyed it!

weedram

Thanks Mouldy but as you say a bit late this time. It might be a help to anyone else considering the same.

I have to say Vehicle Rescue Direct Breakdown Cover from AXA Assistance so far have replied with an email very quickly and documents to follow.

weedram

Had a look at the ADAC site but as I Can't speak German, thought I would give it a miss. Gone for the vehicle-rescue site quote of £24.75 and like zzzemmco says it has AXA behind it so hopefully it should be ok although I don't really want to find out

weedram

Hi all, I'm going to the French Alps next month, unfortunately my current breakdown insurance doesn't cover me (as its group insurance can't do anything about it). So has anyone any recommendations for a breakdown company that provides cover for a one off journey for a reasonable price. It would nee...

weedram

Just had the zed pass it's MoT but what load of crap the actual certificate is. They may as well not bother, just kept it computer based

Can you put the cost up as well

Hi guitargeorge,

Hi all

Anybody seen this site

http://www.style-your-garage.com/eu/index.php?id_lc=25

might be just what you want for Christmas

weedram

Hi Greg, welcome

nice car and boat, alright for some!

weedram

Interesting topic, but if you are going to replace your cd/radio would it not also be a good idea to get one that is DAB. As I understand it 2015 is the year being looked at to change over.

Anyone any ideas

weedram

10/3/51 but my sometimes passenger (mother) was born in August 1917 must rate as one of the oldest. She also prefers the hood to be down!
So whatever age, you are never too old

weedram

Hope you have a good trip, post some photos. We're doing our own first long run to France later in the year looking forward to it but it wont be as mountainous as your trip.

cheers
Phil

According to this link

Take care out there!

Anybody on here?

Seen about 2.00pm today (30/4) travelling from Droitwich towards Holt Heath. Silver Zed, Driver gave us a wave.
Not sure if the location is exactly correct as we were just passing through

weedram

Checked my 3.0l, 2001 and it is not illuminated, so must be an optional extra or on sports

Thanks
Phil

weedram

Mine appears to be the same as the one shown on ebay but it doesn't illuminate, guess I'll have to take it off and have a look.

Thanks both for replying

Phil

weedram

Was the illuminated gear stick a standard fitment or an optional extra?

thanks
Phil

weedram

Weedram was the name of a narrowboat we used to own. So depending on how you read the sign writing it was either weed ram or wee dram. I know which one I prefer, hic.
