Shame there isn't an airbag on-off switch like there is in our Toddler-Taxi (Touran)

May 2000 although the original delivery date was Feb. It was a long wait!

To answer no 1

Either do what Ludo suggests (have done that a couple of times ) or get an expensive bit of white sticky plastick from your stealer or get some black tape and apply it to your lights - there are some cross hairs on the covers that mark the area you need to cover.

Nuclear being pronounced new-cue-ler. Would it surpise you that one of them is George Dublia?

Can anyone recommend a good leather cleaner that can take off the blue colour left by jeans. I've tried autoglym leather cleaner which takes most of of it off but the leather still looks slightly dirty.

Cheers

May 2000 2.8 with 14,000 on the clock. Used almost every day plus one visit to the UK and several to France

I agree with David these are old photos. I recall the originals where scanned from a car mag about the time the Z4 was launched.

Thanks Steve but it's not the Zed that has the electrical problem but a 1995 Metro I've aquired :oops: It came as a package firmly attached to a registration number I bought for our new Babywagon (VW Touran Sport with DSG). I wanted a low figure reg (the Jersey equivalent to a cherished number plate...

And that's why I posting messages at unearthly hours!

That's nothing I also bought Baby 2004............

Thanks Tony will have a go tomorrow should have tought of that first! :dunce: Stu - battery is ok. That was my original thought and went out and bought a new battery only to find my charger was duff. Anyway overnight the new battery was flat. Stuck an ammeter on the battery and then took out each fu...

I'm trying to trace a current drain that discharges the battery in about 6 hours. Using an ammeter in series I've managed to identify the circuit but now I need to identify the component that's the culprit. It could be either the central locking, horn or the hazard warning lights. Anyone have any hi...

I'm sure I've read somewhere that a speedo has a percentage error built in. I suppose that if a speedo under indicated then you could in theory sue the manufacturer if you got a speeding ticket whilst driving at an indicated legal speed.

14,500 in four and a bit years. That includes a few trips to France and one to that big island to the north a few years ago - although we nearly never made it back (something about a fuel crisis).

The car is used daily to and from work.

Well junior is now six months old and I've still got my Zed I suspect that when I do change the car next year it will have to be for something bigger. At least there'll be the fun of test-driving

Gave up in the end now I have boring old black ones that nobody wants.

Good choice. Bought one about six months ago and it's been a great camera. Got very good reviews at the time but also meant we could use the lenses we had from our old EOS 10.

Then there's the skinflint way. Lightly spray the orange bulbs with silver paint - instant silvervision at a fraction of the price. Sprayed mine four years ago and still going strong (or should that be blinking strong).

Agree with all of the above and especially Jules75's comments about roundabouts. All hire car number plates over here are prefixed with a H so you can be aware that the car may 1 Stop suddenly without warning 2 Go round a roundabout several times before exiting. 3 Drive the wrong way down a one-way ...

Have fun

ASC was standard on my 2.8 (2000) and DSC was an option when I ordered it. If you have DSC then you will have a DSC on/off button on the centre console (rather than ASC)

It was an option on my 2.8 yr 2000 when I ordered it.

Having being doing the rounds of the various dealers as the other half wants to change her Golf for something larger that will swallow the mountain of stuff you have to chuck in the car when you take a 4 month old out, I was surprised to notice the number of models from various manufacturers (especi...

Hasn't seen the light of day in about two years.

I am a bad boy.

Hi Alfie It can be a DIY job. I changed mine about 4 years ago. Follow the link below to Ron Stygar's website. It will give you an idea of what's involved in removing the door panel. http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/interior/z3_lets_remove_door_panel.html It took me most of a Sunday afternoon but I ...

Now we have a two month old my Zed is just a fun way of getting to work and with no chance of a blast on a French autorute to a gite, also a 2.8 in an Island with a maximum speed of 40mph is wasted. So:- Another Z3 - yes but smaller engine MZ3 - yes please buy see above :head: Z4 - Growing on me but...

On the hotter days I did have the roof down and aircon blowing into the footwells espcially having had to endure a day at work without aircon. As the car is lives outside ( we may have a double garage but never room for two cars) a quick blast of the aircon soon demists the windscreenon a winter mor...
