It would be best to cut it somwhere inside the boot and then just use insulated inline bullet type crimps from Maplin or RS, leave your self as much spare cable as you can when you cut. BMW do a repair loom as this cable is prone to breaking at the hinge point but it is expensive and appears to have...

The seller did put a question mark after that comment so I would say he doesn't know and is open to somebody proving him wrong, most people wouldn't know any different

That colour looks great with the chrome, and it does indeed look immaculate. Doesn't cost anything to ask them what deal they could do on yours Tim. Early Crimbo pressie

Just create a folder called say Z3 in your internet explorer 'favourites' and save the links in there with meaningful names as they come along, dead easy and works a treat.

I have always had problems on to 3 series cars with the tiny gauze filter in the bottom of the washer bottle clogging up, to remove it does help if there is no water in the washer bottle, disconnect the connector from the washer bottle pump and then gently ease the pump out of the rubber grommet to ...

So that is what that red blob means

I saw a Z3MR a while back on Ebay and the picture showed the clocks and mileage with the engine running and there was indeed a red blob in the LED display. I wondered what that was as there is no mention in the owners manual.

Cheers R

aj2007

Ok, well I was looking around to buy myself a Cold Air Intake for my Z3M but after much investigation, advice and thought, I decided that after recently spending £200 replacing my MAF it would be a backwards move, and that the money could be spent on the car in better ways to improve performance, re...

Hi Deano Looking good, you have been busy, i'm hoping for a 'how to' remove all the bits underneath before you can even begin the cutting and welding part. Looks very neat and considerably stronger than stock :bow I asked the same question re boot and under bonnet paint here: http://www.zroadster.ne...

aj2007

Hi Adam, See hear, it's a matter of just coaxing the instrument cluster forward once you have undone the two screws, it is tight. Be careful not to scratch any of the plastic as you pull. There is just enough room to get at the bulbs http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10809&highlight...

aj2007

Nice one, so you now have to change the bulb and do some cleaning now!
And all on one leg

Yes slide the light fitting forward against the pressure of the spring clip, then with your nails pull the back edge away from the bumper. They are a little tricky if not been out for a while, the crud glues them to the bumper. It does help if you stand on one leg and rub your tummy with the other s...

Is the water temperature gauge reading ok i.e. straight up 12 oclock when engine is up to normal operating temp?
If not sounds like you require a new thermostat

Mmm I would check out the rubber seal in the cap see if it's deteriorated or not seating properly. The water/fluid shouldn't gather it should drain away through a tiny hole in the rubber surround in front of the filler neck, it gets blocked with crap over time. Poke a very thin wire or skewer down t...

Cheers for that Ron good to know, I just want to touch up a few small areas, nothing major

aj2007

Is that some rust I can see on the front sill Tim

aj2007

No problem Tim,
I am going to replace all the bolts which hold the liners in at the same time as they are only pence and have had 10 years of hell

Will post up any new pics of sills etc

Happy squirting!

Ade

aj2007

Is the paint colour (MontrealBlau) on this label the paint colour used to spray the 'inner panels' i.e Boot, Engine Bay e.t.c ?

If so can you get this colour in a touch up stick?

Ade

aj2007

Will have a look

Anyone bought new Bosch O2 sensors for their S50 ZMR from anywhere other than the dealers, looking to replace both with the proper Bosch part, not the fits all version?

Hi Tim My car has spent all but the last twelve months of it's 10 year life in the Glasgow and Perth areas of Scotland where the weather is not as kind as further south (no offence to any Scottish members 8-) ) I am also doing a waxoil job at the minute. I am considering removing the bolt on outer s...

aj2007

They both usually have a different length of wire on them to make them reach the connector. They can be bought from the dealer or from any good car parts supplier. If you need the BMW cat number put the last 7 digits of your VIN number into Realoem.com and then have a look at brakes front and brakes...

Try disconnecting them one at a time from their plug coupler end which is fastened to the inner wing (not to the brake pad), you should find which one is faulty (fault should clear) and then replace it. There should be two, one on the front (passenger side I think) and one on the rear (drivers side)...

aj2007

New pads don't come with sensors they are additional, they don't always need to be replaced. However they do get brittle over time with the heat, so when you remove then from the old pads they tend to break.
I assume you have refitted the old sensors into the new pads?

aj2007

Yeah my outer sill covers have suffered on the front edges due to stones and water etc, need to sort it out over the winter. Are the nuts you mean on the rubber buffers which hold the power steering pipes in front of the radiator (one on the bonnet slam plate and one to the left?) Just replaced mine...

aj2007

Did you replace or reconnect the pad wear sensors as well, these are what puts the light on? See here part 9 for the front http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CM12&mospid=48078&btnr=34_0369&hg=34&fg=05 Part 10 on the rear http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CM12&a...

i guess the guy who test drove it wasn't impressed with the handling so he didn't buy it! A light roll

aj2007

Thanks for that Rob I'll have another go, they said they would order it in for me

Ade

aj2007

I think the fuel filter should be replaced on an inspection 2, however the indy might not have done it so def worth replacing along with plugs.
Like Gary says sounds like a sensor to me.

JT have you got a BMW part number for GummiPflege spray, went into my local stealer today to get some never heard of it Doh!

Yes the connector on the drivers from is the ABS Sensor the passenger side has the brake pad wear sensor too. You should be able to get the nuts and bolts you need, make a list and take it with you as they don't always like looking that much. I have bought the white nylon nuts fairly recently. Ok he...

aj2007

Looks good, nice job

I've been looking at a few but the ZM has the 3.5" MAF and most of the CAI kits I have seen need an adaptor of some kind to go from 3" to 3.5"
Can you get a 3.5" carbon Fibre hose to go from Air filter to MAF?
