Not sure if I should comment on this...

Pierrick

I find myself thinking about wheels and lowering. Now, I know this isn't the kind of thing a bloke should admit on a forum like this, but I don't know much about what goes on behind the wheels of a car. There doesn't seem to be a guide to lowering in the knowledge base, and what I really need is an...

Pierrick

Ok, well... I bought mine for 6£ as well and the signal is not as good. Apparently the BMW (much more expensive) aerial have a better signal.. that's why I asked.

Pierrick

Is it a BMW aerial??

I have the same as yours, bought on e-bay, but signal is not as good as with the long original one! If your signal is as good than with the long one it could me mine...

Pierrick

Yes I know that's hte one I need! As we can see at the link in the first message!

Nice victory for Lotus! Very pleased! They did well last year and deserved more...

A shame Grosjean didn't do very well, let's see what happend on the next grand-prix.

Pierrick

Well done! A very good deal! What else would you buy for this price...

Pierrick

I think tim is right... it's a shame cause for 40£ I would have take it!!!

I think it would go over the engine but the bonnet wouldn't close...

Pierrick

As you said I don't think it will fit my car, the one I nned is one which goes around the back of the engine and not over the top!

But thanks anyway!

If anyone got one in stock...

Pierrick

Well... the parts at the link are meyle, I had a look on the meyle web site, the item number does correspond and they fit my Z. I ask a price to a BMW dealer as well... the price they ask is 45£ each plus VAT!!! So I tought the ones I found are not too expensive... beeing Meyle. You can found cheape...

Pierrick

Thanks for your answer. Ar you sure thay are all made from aluminium? I nthe description, on the two links, it says one is rubber and the other aluminium. So I expected one all rubber and the other rubber/aluminium. I'll probably go for the aluminium then... more solid? the all rubber beeing more ex...

Pierrick

Anyone?

Hi there, everything is in the title! I know there is quite a few for sale on the internet but someone might have a bargain somewhere in the back of his shed... My ideal would be exactly the same that si-forks sold a few days ago: http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=36980 And I l...

Hi everyone, I'm about to change the shocks on my Z3. I bought the following mounts for the rear: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220796448545?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 And I'm not sure which one to buy for the front. Aluminium and rubber or all rubber? what is the best? what ...

Pierrick

Seems very cheap! I can't believe the prices of the Zs today! When I bought mine for £2250 Ithought it was a good price!

What else can you find for £1500???

Pierrick

Why is it so cheap (compare to new)?? No one want this kind of car? too expensive to insure?

Or the kind of people who own these car prefer to buy new and then resell cheap...

Pierrick

Anyone else to advise me about the shocks?? will they fit?!

Pierrick

Dallantan has front and rears... so you think I can fit them... just an easy swap.

Pierrick

oooooooooooh I missed it!!! That's what I call cheap!! Do you know where to find one for the same price?

Pierrick

That's ok, it it the price you wanted for it! From now on they will be more expensive... spring is approching very quickly!

Pierrick

How much did you sold it then... 2500 seems cheap! Mein cost approx. the same but not looking as good, and it's a 1.9L!

Pierrick

Ok, so I send an MP to dallantan just after he offered his shocks... and he kindly put them aside for me. But here is my question, do they fit my car??? on smoe internet web sites it seems like the chocks are the same for my 1.9L and for his 2.2L and on some others they appear to be different! If an...

Pierrick

Thanks for the photos! I bed you are quite happy its finally done!

Where did you get all your parts?

Pierrick

in the last 3 weeks: Insurance tax cobra zorst two suspension arms two lollipos a brake pipe two handbrake cables two sets of handbrake shoes four sparkplugs (yes, 4, its the little z3) new battery tracking various tools to fit the above and finally today....... an MOT pass!!! :) :cheers total cost...

Pierrick

dallantan, what for free?? I can't see the photo!

Pierrick

Just found this: https://www.atp-autoteile.eu/KFZTeile/Federbeinstuetzlager_5109_3199136_0.htm?TN=100371 https://www.atp-autoteile.eu/Artikelgruppen/BMW/Z3_E36/19/Federbein_/Stodaempferlagerung_5109_100371.htm Plenty of choice at a good price, but I dont speak german at all!!! I think the meyle are ...

Pierrick

MOT went all right! No advisories, nothing wrong, like a new car... well, alomst!

Pierrick

I'll definetly change the shocks by pair... starting with the front! But the springs are so expensives!!! I hope I won't have ti change them. So far I think I'll go for Sachs front and bilstein rear (almost the same price than sachs and I think better quality!). I'll just check ones again for monroe...

Pierrick

After weeks having a look on the internet here is the result! As I mentioned before my suspensions are completely knacked and it is now to a point I can’t still ignore it. I read quite a few threads on the forum to know what kind of brand I should buy to have a correct quality for a good price, and ...

Pierrick

I had the same problem.
Everything is explained there:

Pierrick

I booked an MOT for tuesday so everything is ok!

Pierrick

Just discovered this thread! Very nice car, I'm sure you'll sell it very quickly!

Pierrick

So... I just had a look on the DVLA web site. I cant get a dax disc on line because.... my MOT runs out in 5 days!!!!! I just checked, I know it was in marth but I didn't know it xas the 5th! So I have to do this very quickly! My tax runs out the 31st so I have a bit of time before to worry to much ...

Pierrick

Thanks guys. So if I apply online I'll pay by card and recieve my tax disc by post? yes? And I do the work on my car myself as well so I'll try to find an MOT where I can go back without paying again! I'll go to my local garage tomorrow and ask him if he knows good places to go. And do all BMW deale...

Pierrick

Hi everyone, the Z is the first car I own in England and I have both MOT and road tax to renew before the end of the month, so here are my questions. Where is the best/safest place to get a road tax? And for the MOT, is there better places than others? BMW specialised? and what is a normal price? sh...

Pierrick

Nice car. Love the colour! I have the same gear knob and the center badge is in bad condition as well (end a bit of the chrome has gone!)... but not as bad as yours!! What happend there!!! If you change the whole gear knob I would be interested to buy it... but you can find some center badges on the...

Pierrick

And where are the events?

Pierrick

Good start! When does the car has to be ready for thge new season?

Pierrick

And it very quickly developed a serious misfire under anything more than 30-40% power Same problem on my car... and if you have a look on the forum there is quite a few cars with the same problem! Some have changes the plugs, other the MAF, or the leads, or the coils... some have changed everything...

Pierrick

Why? Just in case you woudn't be able to undo the filler one?

Pierrick

Ouch! As you said it is expensive! Hope everything will be ok for your MOT!

Pierrick

Welcome here.
This roof was horrible, obviously never been cleaned! You did a good job.
I bought the Autoglym kit as well, I'm waiting for the weather to be a better to use it.

Pierrick

Open your bonnet, take a photo and post it there! Then, there will be no doubt!

I do agree! If i see the photo of something wraped and covered with old leaf I wouldn't buy it!
