Its just I am wanting to change the brake fluid and my local motor factor does Dot 4 for ABS systems and one for ASC systems. I know it has ASC because there is a button on the console. When I switch on the ignition there is an ABS light on the dash. So if it has both ASC and ABS which brake fluid d...

Does a 1999 z3 1.9 have ABS? Thanks

I would just like to add my two penneth to the thread by reporting that my recent fitment of a set of new 225/50x60 Matador MP46 Hectorra 2s has done wonders for the handling of my Z3. Whereas before I was on the edge of my seat not knowing what the car was going to do next the car's handling is muc...

It's engine oil change time again I would be grateful for opinions on which oil to use. According to the hand book the reccomended oil is 5W - 40 or 'Special Oils'. What is Special Oil? I pressume it is Fully Synthetic. As the car does only about 3,000 miles a year is it worth paying the extra for F...

Excellent bit of road but not for faint hearted. I always try to fit that and Wrynose Pass in whenever I go to the Lakes. You have to careful of 'less talented' drivers coming the other way, if you need to reverse there are some awfully nasty rocks to damage your pride and joy on. :oops: Would make ...

I have just fitted a set of Matador MP46 Hectora 2 s after much diliberation and research on the net. I decided on them for a number of reasons. Firstly (on my size at least) they are W rated which is higher than the standard V, accademic I know but it's a plus rather than a minus, also they are ZR ...

Because the seat does't adjust back far enough I find I can't release the clutch pedal cleanly every time. I have fitted a new clutch but still the pedal bitting point is nearer the top than I would like. Does anyone know if there is any way of adjusting the pedal so the clutch bites sooner. Car is ...

Hi Sp1key, I don't know if it's normal but mine does the same thing. When I bought it I thought I would cure it by giving it a service. After fitting new plugs and air filter it's was still there. I do find however that it almost disappears if I fill up with Super unleaded petrol.

Just found out my Z3 had Z Star alloys when new, which is great because I have just bought some to replace the pepper pots I was never keen on. This means I don't need to confess to the insurance company that I have made a modification, they should have been on anyway. It also means I don't need to ...

Sorry, should have mentioned it's the outer one. Thanks anyway.

I need a chrome Driver's door handle surrond for Z3 if anyone can help. Thanks.

He has a company based in Lancashire but i can't remember what it's called. I am sure he can supply whatever you want and post to you. If you give him a call mention you got his name off this website and I am sure he will be able to fix you up.

If anybody is looking for good carpet mats I can reccommend Reece Thompson. He made me some in black velour and used my old original mats as a pattern to ensure a perfect fit. Mine is 1999 model ,I believe the later ones are slightly differnt. I couldn't find what I was looking for on the internet, ...

I have a 1.9, although the suspension is softer than I would have expected for a 'sports' car I wouldn't say it is all that bad. I have noticed the car sits down at the back and the front lifts under acceleration. Maybe your suspension is just tired and just replacing with new standard parts might s...

I have recently purchased some very good used 16" Z Star alloys for my 1.9 Z3 which came with excellent Michelin Pilot HX tyres with 5mm tread on them. They look like they have been in storeage for quite some time because the date codes indicate the tyres were made in 1996, and that's the probl...

If anyone is interested I have a brand new BMW rear window with some damage to the start of the zip where I attempted to fit it myself. The problem was I couldn't get the zip pull to start onto the zip properly, it seemed too tight and messed up the fabric of the zip. I also have the old window comp...

I discovered my driver's side external door handle surrond is coming away because the top clips a broken. Does anyone have a chrome one for sale?
Thanks

Don't know if this is any use to anybody but I recently had the thought of getting a spare bulb kit for my Z3 roadster. Consulting the handbook I needed HB3 (R9005) and HB4 (9006) headlight bulbs. I wanted standard bulbs not the fancy blue sort. I searched ebay but didn't find what I wanted so I had...

Trevsky

Is this still on? If so looking at having a ride out.
Thanks.

Trevsky

Yes I have had this happen. Went to fill up with petrol, switched ignition on, no gauges, no speedo etc.
Got home took cover off relay/fuse box under bonnet, waggled all relays -hey presto! everything back to normal. Conclusion loose relay.

I have a 1999 1.9 Z3 with standard Z Line "Pepper Pot" 15" alloys. I am contemplating upgrading to something slightly more sporty looking without being too exotic. I would like to find out what 16" alloys might have been fitted as an option when the car was new, so I can keep it ...

I think condition is the important thing. Mine has had 6 owners but it's mint. I think a lot of people buy these cars with good intentions but find that they only use them in summer and after a while the novelty wears off. It may also have been a pre registered car which puts an owner in log book bu...

it's only a 1.9 with original pepper pot wheels . Nothing wrong with that! http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx71/willowclegg/26.jpg I'm keeping the wheels as they are good for the roads round here.

I had similar concerns when I bought my 1.9 last year. The idling was a bit rough, I'd call it hunting, but this when warm. I thought a service would cure it. I changed the usual stuff including air filter thinking it could be blocked and fuel filter and a new set of plugs. None of this made a great...

I'm paying about the same for insurance this year but when I bought the Z last year the quote of around £160 from Saga was a major factor in covincing me to by it. Being over 50 does have some advantages :). That reminds me I need to get round to posting some pics but the fact that it's only a 1.9 w...

Trevsky

John if 1950 is your date of birth, I am a tad younger born 1951. That makes me 60. I took my Z3 in as a part exchange and decided it was much too good to let go to the trade - that's me excuse and sticking to it.
Wife says it's mid life crisis but I say I am just looking after it. Happy motoring.

Do you know what? I'm going to get a back seat fitted!

Trevsky

Just checked and found Pagid @ £27.54 and Eicher @ £17.94 both at Euro Car Parts. The Brembo one were £38.43. These are for 1 disc but would always fit in pairs of course.
Makes the Eicher ones look particularly cheap! Are they any good?

Trevsky

Do you have to get the wheels re balanced?

Trevsky

The should have a complaints procedure laid out in the documents they sent you. Go down this route and if not satisfied contact the Financial Services Ombudsman

Trevsky

No they didn't replace anything, just said fault code showed it had only happened 3 times, was a common fault historically, checked the wiring and reset. I hadn't removed seat, just adjusted it. I guess if this is a common problem I can expect it to happen again. Just cross fingers. Thanks for all t...

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago and booked it in with the dealer. They said it was the driver's side seat belt tensioner wiring and charged me £70 for fiddling about with the connection and resetting the light. Wish I'd known about the tool earlier and the willingness of people on here ...
