Regretably my 2.2i Sport is up for sale :( I purchased it in Oct 2013 and in Nov 2013 my wife bought me a new gun dog, now two people, one dog and two shotguns plus assorted other bits do not fit in a Z3 :( So here goes; 2001 (51) plate 2.2i sport in Titan Silver metallic with full black leather int...

Mowerman

Does anyone have any experience of using the above to fit a phone into a Z3? Your thoughts on quality, fit etc would be appreciated, they are expensive to buy and I want to make sure it fits ok, any pro`s/con`s etc. Thanks, Steve.

Mowerman

Hi, are the stone guards magnetic and how much for them? Cheers, Steve.

Mowerman

Hi Martin, will try and look at mine AGAIN this weekend and send photos. Sorry for the delay! Steve.

Mowerman

Bit of a stupid question really, how do the grills come off? Are they in two parts and you remove the inner first or the outer first? How do the clips come apart, lever with a screwdriver? Thanks, Steve.

Mowerman

Sorry that should be www.millaissolutions.com Steve.

Mowerman

Renovo all the way here. Used them for years on all my classics, not cheap but very good. See; www.milliassolutions.co.uk for pricing etc. Cheers, Steve.

Mowerman

Hi, I should be replacing mine with black ones this weekend so I`ll drop you some photos of what I take off. As far as I can see they are original BMW and the chrome parts are in good condition with no broken clips etc. Cheers, Steve.

Mowerman

Definitely have a puncture!! Found a small nail in it. Hoping it can be fixed.

Mowerman

At present I have Conti Sport 2`s all round and am pleased with the performance. However I have a slow puncture in the OSR ( :evil: ) and am looking to change the rear pair, which is a bit of a bugger as they have at least 6mm of tread left. I`ve read various comments on keeping all four corners the...

Mowerman

Signed and forwarded to other interested people. I really fail to see how people can try and stop this type of event? the same thing happened a couple of years ago at Goodwood, people move into the area, don`t like the noise and try and get the event cancelled!! F**k off and live somewhere else if y...

Mowerman

I`ve used the Gunsons Eezibleed in the past with good results, but not yet on the Z. You would need to ensure the kit contains the right size cap! Cheers, Steve.

Mowerman

Just thought I`d comment on the Halfrauds Professional Tools, I`ve had a number of them during the years and generally found them to be of good quality. The one issue I had was dealt with promptly with a replacement. DON`T buy the sets, it may work out a bit cheaper but as otheres have stated you en...

Mowerman

It always looks worse before it gets better! It`ll turn out fine I`m sure

Mowerman

Can anyone tell me if all the Z3 boot carpets are the same (excepting CD changers) or did they change with the "fat arse" version? Thanks, Steve.

Mowerman

In this situation the bolts are not "rusted" in, they seize as a result of electrolytic reaction between two dissimilar metals. i.e the alloy head and the zinc plated bolt. If you are taking out the old ones then I would suggest giving the point at which the bolt meets the head a good dosi...

Hi Davejue1, he`s a Lab Retriever, Really unexpected as a present!! The last dog I had was also a Lab and he looked excellent sitting in my 1947 MGTC :) Alas both dog and car are long gone! The latest one (Murphy) has a pedigree as long as your arm (not that it means much) and all are working dogs s...

Hi Ray, Not yet unfortunately! I`m in the middle of building a new engine for my son`s classic mini, work is manic (I work away 2 or 3 days a week) and I`ve just had a "special" birthday for which the family gave me a new gundog so now I`ve got him to train!! I think the Z will have to wai...

Mowerman

The Z3 appears in the Dec issue of Classic MNotoring on page 62. The article was 7 different sports cars that are a bit more "modern". The Z was described as "grossly underrated" and "with it`s long muscular bonnet and stubby tail it looks pleasingly retro but not overtly so...

Mowerman

I`ve not had this issue but check the following: Contact area should be perfectly clean before application, use an alcohol based cleaner if possible and wait for any residue to evaporate before applying sticky lights Make sure there is no polish (contains silicone) on the are which would prevent the...

Mowerman

Spot on! thank you. Found it in the manual under "keyless entry" That`s sorted my curiosity. Steve.

Mowerman

Okay Chaps, See the pictures attached for the wire, This is located in the interior mirror arm and comes from the header rail. The mirror is not auto dipping, the wipers are not automatic so it`s not a sensor! I`ve looked in the Bentley book and cannot trace it either thru` the wiring diagram or the...

Mowerman

I have searched the forum with no success! I`m looking for a valeter to "do" the paintwork on the Z, there are a couple of minor imperfections which I think are bird sh*t on the paint that will not polish out. Preferably someone who will come to the house. Any ideas/recommendations? Cheers...

Mowerman

Title says it all really. Have you done this/is it possible and what charger do you use/recommend?I know the Ctek ones have a good reputation. Cheers. Steve.

Mowerman

Scotchlocks. The spawn of the devil when it comes to wiring! Horrid, nasty, unreliable things! You cannot beat a good soldered connection. Cheers, Steve.

Mowerman

Water sitting behind the fuel flap, there should be a drain to let it out. Cheers, Steve.

Mowerman

Thanks for all the replies chaps. @Del; I`m not new to cars, having just sold a 1971 TR6 and owned before that a Lotus Elise, Triumph Vitesse and a 1947 MGTC and having carried out all my own maintenance including complete engine rebuilds etc I`m well aware of the other "issues". @Mike; I ...

Mowerman

@Alan W; our cars are now, at best, ten years or more older. I guarentee that everyones cars has been "modernised" in some way, even if it`s just the replacement of parts. Tyres, for example will be better than the originals due to changes in compounds etc so you are telling me I shouldn`t...

Mowerman

Hi Robert, thanks for the reply but I don`t think I explained very well. When you operate the indicators they "latch" on and self cancel as they should but lane changing on the motorway for example requires you to operate and then switch them off. I appreciate you can just hold the stalk w...

Mowerman

Having picked up my Z last weekend there is a niggling issue which I would like to address, namely that of having to operate the indicators everytime! By that I mean having to turn then off, for example when exiting a roundabout. More modern cars come with indicators that if you just press the stalk...

Mowerman

Chaps, going to view a 2001 2.2i Z3 tomorrow so what do I look for?

VANOS?? Is it as bad as some say or related to the S50 (?) series engine only?

DISA Valve? Does it make that much noise when going/gone?

Boot floor? Do I need to worry about that on a 2.2 litre engine?

Thanks

Steve.
