Do they take much fitting? I know i had a job to get my e39 5 series headlights apart to fit new adjusters, so wondered if these were similar?

Yay thats 50p you didn't have before then. Sorry to have wasted your time suggesting seat removal, i hope you find the problem soon.

can't say I can hear a clunk but I suppose taking the seat out and having a good look around is as good as any place to start.

Oh absolutely Mick, and who knows you might find a few quid in the process, I made £2.37! Good luck with the work matey.

My passenger seat was stuck in the up position when i bought my 98 2.8. The motor would clunk as if it were trying to move but wouldnt actually move. I freed it up my taking the mounting bolts out of the seat, unplugging the electical connectors in the bottom of the seat with the ignition off , then...

Silly question, but have you checked the blades are on the right way up?

So what are the symptoms of each sensor failing then?

Just relaying my experience thats all.

Just a word of caution about magnetic films on cars. I'm sure that after a few months of themagnet being on the car, it will start causing small rust spots like a rash accross the area where the megnets are applied. BMW paint may be resistant to it but certainly a brand new company Range Rover i ran...

Hi all, I have this morning replaced my seat bushes, and wanted to publicly thank both Aceman and Earthwormjim for making it so simple. The bushes themselves were a decent price and arrived quickly once I ordered them from Aceman, while EWJ's replacement guide really helped and gave me confidence in...

It seems like ATS have a license to bill..............

Hi guys,

I have now managed to change the COM port to COM Port 1 but im still getting the "IFH-0018: Initialization Error. The Program will be stopped!" message. Does anyone know whats wrong?

Thank you for the advice XVar. Im using a netbook which doesnt have a "ports" entry listed in the Control Panel. I think this may be the problem then, perhaps i should be using a proper laptop instead. I use Mac's instead of Windows and thought that the netbook i had laying around might ha...

Hi guys. I now have the leads and the software all downloaded and installed, but im getting an error when i try to connect to the car. The error is "IFH-0018: Initialization Error. The Program will be stopped!". I have searched the error all over the web and there area few enteiesabout it,...

Hi all,

Im looking for a reasonably priced strut brace for my 98 2.8 Z3.

Many thanks

Maybe its to do with pedal size and shape rather than their position? I find it easier to do in my E39 5 series than my Z.

Section 4 has a link to the INPA software and a PDF guide to setting it up. Should be all you need

Thank you again matey, i really apreciate the help.

I would say that's overpriced when these two can be had for under half the price ;) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAG-OBD2-OBDII-409-1-KKL-USB-AUDI-VW-Skoda-Car-Diagnostic-Cable-Interface-UK-/261007454087?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3cc541af87#ht_4909wt_1396 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/...

I have looked at tht item as well, but it seems rather limited in its application compared to the full interface of a laptop. I owned a Faultmate for my old Range Rovers a few years ago and that was awesome for reading and playing around with all the vehicle systems. Thats what i think i would like ...

Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying a diagnostic tool for both my e39 and my Z3 and was thinking of buying this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Fault-code-Diagnostic-reader-tool-cable-software-Full-Adapter-Set-/370615890777?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item564a6db359#ht_11858wt_922 What do yo...

I see your point Monkey. I am also looking forward to seeing your progress so again keep the updates coming.

I think it's fantastic that you are lavishing so much attention on your Z, but i wonder if it would have been cheaper in the long run to buy a car which was in better condition and didnt need as much attention in the first place?

In fact this is the thread for the seat bushes here.

Hi Nidjet, I too, am new to the forums and already the guys here have offered some great tips to a complete Z3 virgin..! How easy is it to remove the seat as I have some lateral movement in the seat when braking sharply and accelerating away quickly. I wondered whats wrong and easy to fix. I suspec...

Welcome to the club (I only joined about three months ago myself). Loads of useful information on here, especially the 'Z3 range knowledgebase' section. You picked a nice week to buy a convertible too. :) Thank you for the warm welcome. I must say that im very impressed with all the knowledge on th...

Hi everyone, I finally took the plunge and bought my first Z3 on Wednesday this week and i cannot believe that it had taken me this long to decide to go for it. Im not sure how i managed to live without a Z for all these years! Anyway, i wanted to thank everyone who has written about stuck seat heig...
