Hi Sailorbaz,

What part are you in? We're off to a wedding in Athlone Friday and then spending a few days in Donegal and we're driving back to the UK via Strabane and Omagh.

Cheers.

ZedAintDead

Hi,

got a quote of £12 from ParcelForce for delivery to Cyprus.

Cheers.

ZedAintDead

Provisionally sold!

So I finally got the car on autotrader, link here: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... 5144196738

The car has been serviced, has tax and two new front tyres so good to go for Summer fun!

ZedAintDead

All, After a year of Zed ownership it's time to move on, we'll soon need more than 2 seats and I can't justify having the Zed as a second car unfortunately. So, the detail, she's a topaz blue 2.2 with matching hardtop. I've got to admit to loving how different the car looks with the hardtop on and i...

ZedAintDead

Hi, sent you a PM.

ZedAintDead

Got mine yesterday, fitted this morning, awesome idea and so simple to do!

Thanks very much! Be interesting to see how long it takes the wife to notice!

ZedAintDead

Black z3 with hardtop, that's a beauty!

ZedAintDead

I'd also be up for this, with instructions!

Thanks!

ZedAintDead

Hi Boysie,

We chatted for a bit (topaz z3) when we were waiting to get into the in-field area, nice to meet you.

Met some other nice folk over the course of the day, I suspect we'll be back next year if all goes well! Hopefully we get a parade lap next year!

Cheers.

ZedAintDead

The wife and I will also be coming along, now booked in on Friday night at Mercure Milton Keynes, Abbey Hill.

Would love to be involved in the convoy to Silverstone Saturday morning.

Really looking forward to it!

ZedAintDead

Also ribbed on my 2002 2.2.

incidentally i had to get a replacement for mine, got it cheap on ebay so I'd keep looking unless you're in dire need. think mine cost me £30.

ZedAintDead

Mixed emotions I'm sure but hope you got your asking price Bill.

Hope it's going to a good home, it's a lovely car.

ZedAintDead

Lovely colour and those M alloys look so good with it!

Nice job on the polishing!

ZedAintDead

Seems I'm a little slow off the mark, paying too much attention to the Formula1!

ZedAintDead

Just googled the email address and they have a whole heap of things for sale on different websites all with the same story, I'd certainly be very sceptical.

ZedAintDead

Lovely mile muncher Bill, enjoy, always fancied one of those myself!

Just don't sell the Zed!

ZedAintDead

As always here, awesome peeps on an awesome forum, thanks!

Can't wait to see the missus' face when I pop the headlights in the oven!

ZedAintDead

Gill, How did you find night driving with the halos? Im interested in doing this but wouldn't want to make night vision any worse than with the standard lights, but maybe that's impossible anyway! ;-) Ive seen upgrade kits on ebay but if you could post a link to the ones you used that would be great...

ZedAintDead

A very timely post, I was actually thinking of replacing mine on the driver's side as it's playing up, but I might have a go at sorting it out now!

Thanks!

ZedAintDead

Hi,

I've recently done this and asked a ton of questions here:
http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopi ... =5&t=37936

I ordered mine from opieoils.

Good luck!

ZedAintDead

Wow, awesome job, good luck at the show!

A *really* clean car in fading light looks great, nice timing with the shots!

ZedAintDead

Sitting on the ferry en route back to blighty now so figured I'd give an update on the trip. The weather was surprisingly good, we even had the top down all the way from Dublin to Westport in Co. Mayo. Bliss! The work on the car went really well, got a pretty good service done in the end: -oil and f...

ZedAintDead

I've got to jump in here to "big up" my local BMW dealer, Dick Lovett in Hungerford. I was in there on Saturday to pick up a pair of heater bulbs (yes I did this over the weekend and yes I have the scratches to prove it!). I got talking to the parts guy about the Zed, explained I'd only ha...

ZedAintDead

Hey Bonzo, A perfectly natural response I think, but then I would say that! :wink: All my oil has been delivered now (engine oil is already in Ireland waiting for me) and I'm off to BMW later to pick up all the other bits. Can't wait for the trip to Ireland now, even if the weather is going to be le...

ZedAintDead

Hey Bonzo,

Ha ha it would appear so, Zelda feels like the perfect name for her, I didn't know you'd chosen the same name! I read somewhere it means warrior princess!

We obviously have great taste!

ZedAintDead

Cheers Bonzo, hopefuly it'll all go as smoothly as yours!

ZedAintDead

BMW said I don't have a limited slip diff and the oil they stated matches up with Mike Fishwick's post here for a Z3 without LSD: http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=17948&p=171341&hilit=oil#p171341 The data sheet (quite cool by the way!) doesn't specify a "Sperredif...

ZedAintDead

Just spoke to BMW, apparently mine has a non-slip diff and the diff oil they recommend is Castrol SAF-XO, hopefully that's useful for someone else looking at doing the same job.

ZedAintDead

Hi Bonzo,

I'm not sure if mine has a limited slip diff, I have a DSC button but not sure this helps. Is there a way for me to tell for sure?

Thanks.

ZedAintDead

I put one of those gearknobs on my 2.2, makes a great difference to the gearchange!

ZedAintDead

I've got my perspex one mounted on the back of the roll hoops so still have access to my storage cubby!

ZedAintDead

Welcome!

Only recently saw a Dakar yellow Z3 in the flesh and thought it was a lovely colour, photos don't tend to do it justice somehow.

Enjoy!

ZedAintDead

This forum is the dog's, thanks everyone. So what I think I'm looking at is: From BMW - rocker cover gasket - small o-rings for base of oil filter - sump plug - sump plug o-ring - 2 heater bulbs (forgot about that job too but I may get that done this weekend!) - water pump (part number 11517527910),...

ZedAintDead

I followed G8jka's route and made a perspex one, a fun way to spend a few hours and it doesn't look too bad considering it cost me just over £20 all in!

It also works fairly well and is certainly a big improvement on running without one.

ZedAintDead

Awesome, thank you!

ZedAintDead

Thanks R, so maybe fan and pump replacement then, just to cover all the bases then.

ZedAintDead

Thanks Blade, some useful info there.

I forgot the water pump, read a few scary stories about those already so might have to include that on the list so cheers for that!

ZedAintDead

The wife and I are heading off on our first expedition in the Zed late next week, off to Ireland for a week for a family wedding and to spend a bit of time with our respective folks, can't wait! Anyway, while I'm there I can use my dad's garage (and his skills) to get a few jobs done on the car whic...

ZedAintDead

That's a beast, many happy miles or many happy hours of polishing, whichever you're keener on!

ZedAintDead

Nice Zed, oh and welcome!

ZedAintDead

You'll just paint it silver!

ZedAintDead

So, following some photography posts by other members I chucked the camera in the boot of the car yesterday before heading off on a shopping trip with the wife. When we got there I parked up in front of a derelict building and walking away from the car, doing the obligatory glance over the shoulder ...
