Moomah, I did nothing to the car prior to the C T. I just turned up with original oem headlights and anti-dazzle stickers on. Only issue with the lights, and only verbally mentioned, was that the fog lights were a bit high. A couple other advisories (corroded handbrake cables and tank straps), but ...

Thanks Bladerunner, my other half speaks German but Chrome Translate is a god send !

Are yours projector or flat beam headlights Boosh? If we can get it through a CT Bingo, did you make any alterations at all to get it through?

Moomah

Cheers All, and yes the little stickers are not accepted if registering it for french plates. We have already registered our landrover and Harley without problems, with just an advisory on our brakes for the LR. Simples

Boosh, I live in the Limousin Dept 23, you? Thanks for the advice

Moomah

Ah well, now to go hunting for new headlights.. hey ho.. Thank you for your quick response

Moomah

Hi All, haven't been on for a while the car has been laid up and moved from the UK to France. Our little z3 2.8i roadster has just been dusted off and now comes the time when I want to register it here. BUT I have a query about the headlights. Can you tell me please if there is a way of "switch...

It didnt go to court in the end, we are advised by solicitors that it was no guarantee that we would get our money back even if the Court instructed them to.... :evil: The police were involved and the car was cloned with another in London.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Daveju1 I was thinking that too....

She is under cover at the moment but will get her out this weekend for a run and a bit of air and will take some pics.....

I have a P reg 2.8 Z3, blue with beige interior, automatic. The engine is sooooo sweet, runs like a dream, but a couple of things that are letting it down is the roof which has two broken tension wires and the paintwork on the boot....the top coat has gone white (a poor respray I think before we bou...

Moomah

Interesting points Philip, maybe my "story" wasn't as clear as it should be. :) We met the previous owner (the trader) and have spoken to the person who sold it to them too as well and all ownership details match, all except he (the male trader) said he sold it on to his work partner (the ...

Moomin and Mother combined....my daughter (now 20) calls me this sometimes

It has been suggested that I write up here, what happened to us when we purchased our Z3 2.8 auto from a local trader here in Shropshire. There may or may not be lessons to learn, so here I go. Earlier this year we purchased from a local trader (I am unable to name them currently) based in Telford S...

Moomah

We are off to court for this one now...still ongoing. When I have a chance I will post up the full story and hopefully it might help others when buying a car. The police are backing us all the way but the seller is being a pain in the rear.

Moomah

Oh yes we have notified Trading Standards and we have informed the trader every step of the way what we intend to do and to think again about a refund to save the hassle and possible extra costs they will face by going to court, and their response is no response...our claim is based on .the car not ...

There last year on a harley. Had a great time touring Europe, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Germany...Stelvio was a fun ride (mad cyclists!) and you will love it, but I preferred the Timollsjock...now that was just down right scary!

Well I have not been on recently as events are progressively looking bad. Since one of my last postings http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32141&highlight= we have had the police vehicle inspector in as it just didn't sit right to not do anything and continue to drive the car. There ...

Quick Q.......Is there a location for a VIN other than below the wipers and on windows? Is there one just inside the door at all under the trim?

The discrepancies are :- Incorrect sized single wheel on the rear (not worried about this) Engine number has a plate welded over the original number and number does not match DVLA documents BMW say blue with black interior 1.9 and now is blue with cream interior 2.8 and has been for 11 years. DVLA r...

Update My partner spke to both traders today. After a long discussion where they are adament the car is not stolen, they have agreed that if we do investigate further and it proves to be stolen afterall they will refund, but if it just proves there is something illegal with it, they won't My partner...

We are fighting with the trader at the moment as they are refusing to refund.. .... Thanks for the kind messages. Name and shame the dealer on every forum you can get access to and stand outside their premises advising potential buyers that sell stolen cars. The second one should work. Good luck Ch...

The HPI came up clear as such. It recorded the changes in number plates (mainly private ones) and the fact it was stolen, but no damage and nothing recorded as being changed at all It was only detective work by ourselves and BMW. Not a nice feeling. At least its a trader and she was as shocked as us...

Moomah

Well we have been stung. Some of you will remember postings regarding how to find out about how many owners a car has had, the description with BMW not matching what we were driving etc. Well the engine number now confirms it. :twisted: We have a stolen car, with engine numbers changed etc etc. We a...

Hi Jonty, lovely car....how many miles on the clock?

Moomah

Our car started out as two zeds. A blue with black interior with chrome 1.9 auto recorded with BMW. We drive a blue with beige interior 2.8 auto which is recorded on the log book, hence the fact initially we didn't think to check further until we wanted a new wheel. Today we have been told that the ...

Moomah

Many thanks xvar. Thats the posting, but not what I remembered.

Ah well

Moomah

When I first saw this site a few months ago I think I remember reading an article about someone who had been stung when buying a zed. Things did not match, ie chassis and engine etc, I could be wrong, and I think there were tips somewhere where we could find out more ourselves by getting under the b...

Spotted zed in Morrison's car park, Barry, S.Wales, roof down, filling up on Friday about 2.00pm.

We travelled over 400 miles this weekend and other than the above, we did not see one single zed 3 and only one zed 4.....!

Moomah

Many thanks for that, my partner is looking into it. We are waiting on a call from the trader, as they are looking at getting a wheel for us, the rest of the stuff, they claim ignorance....hmmmm

Next job is getting on to the block to read the engine number as well.

Moomah

Well it seems my little zed has a bit of history. Went to BMW today to price up a new wheel and low and behold, they have our zed as a 1.9 black auto with black interior! As I look out onto my driveway I have a montreal blue 2.8 1997 auto Hmm....just did a HPI and it has had 5 owners not the 2 we we...

Moomah

Thank you both....I know what I am looking for now

Moomah

Thanks for the heads up....got the message

Is there a specific name for the 8" wheel so I can source one online?

Moomah

Hmmm, thanks for the heads up:) , as a newbie I am just going by what the mechanic said, but certainly its not matching in size.

Moomah

Wanted 8" wheel for 2.8 1997 model. Some twit has put the wrong size rim on one side at the rear although the tyre is the same as the 8" on the other side!!!! Explains why it was pulling to the left! Here is the style.... Happy to part ex or someone make me an offer on this one :D Its for ...

Moomah

Took the zed for a full service today and asked for them to check out the tracking as it was pulling to the left. Had the service and a new track rod end. They initially struggled to get the wheels off as the nuts were seized but it had been standing for 2 years so understandable. THey then came to ...

Past vehicle, SWB Series 1 landrover, did many a hill climb, bog plough and off roading with her...sadly no pics!

Moomah

Thanks FiD for asking about this. I have the 2.8 1997 and mine is doing the same, one slight bit of wind and off it goes as well, other times it can be completely still and it still goes off.

I will check out mine too
