Thanks guys. Just been back through 4 or 5 old posts and finally managed to find the diagram on Real OEM. so will get 1 x spray nozzle, 1 x valve F, 5 expanding rivets so I can peel back the whole corner of the soundproofing and 3 x hose clamps as recommended by Bloke as a) probably won't be re- usa...

Not yet one week into ownership and first chance for a bit of DIY on my 99 (V) 2.8 Z3. The driver's side windscreen washer has packed up, nearside washer working fine. Having tried the "pin in the nozzle" as there was lots of dried polish left from previous owners with no luck - well just ...

Zed Carer

Hi Adam Your Z3 looks magnificent and has obviously benefited from the care and attention you have given it. I only got mine last Monday 99 (V) 2.8 and like you found that there was more to do than I expected so having spent every evening so far just cleaning, etc looking at yours gives me inspirati...

Thank you for all your good wishes and kind words I've been in my new home for a day and so far: Had my nearside door cleaned inside, it was even polished underneath! All round the door frame was washed with nice warm water then I was dried and polished. The Zed Carer then used Auto Glym vinyl clean...

I've been looking for a 2.8 since before Christmas and only came across one white one for sale - I think that it was near Chester. Can only assume that white is a rare colour in the UK.

Zed Carer

Nice One! Like the wheels. Hope that you have lots of fun with your new Zed.

Fingers crossed should pick my 2.8 up tomorrow night.

Still catching up on jobs so did the recycling bit this morning on my to Halfrauds in Pontefract. On the way in passed a black Z4 on the A639 that was heading out towards Doncaster. On the way back home saw a very shiney red Z3 with chrome gills in the queue heading into Pontefract. Anyone on here? ...

Up early this morning to watch the GP and snowing heavily with 2 to 3 inches already on the road - but now melting. Pity really I was almost looking forward to some Zedledging - live on hill and the local kids skateboard in summer and when there is enough snow sledge in the winter. Hope that anyone ...

Thanks cowboybebop for starting this thread as I am in a similar position. The Zed Owner traded in her Z3 for the Z4 last year and after earning an awful lot of Brownie Points has just about agreed to me buying a Z3 - my excuse was that it would take some of the mileage off my usual daily drive.

Looks very nice - must have taken you time and effort to get it that shiny but the result looks well worth it. Did you have a glass (or two) of the other Merlot as a reward? Got to admit that purely personally I am not usually that great a fan of dark colours on the Z4 but the exception for me is Me...

Zed Carer

Really glad that zroadster's back - it went down just when i needed to look up a few things. Weeks of "if only I could look at zroadster I'd know the answer" so it might be a late night tonight.

Thanks to everyone involved in getting it back for us to enjoy.

Zed Carer

Well done, very impressed - what will you do when it's all finished?

I got my Z-fix by going for some hood down driving on Sunday around the local lanes for an hour or so, then washed the Z ready for it's weekly duty as the wife's commuting car.

Hi and Welcome from a relative Newbie. I've found lots of useful stuff on the various forums.

Car looks very nice. I'm in and out of Donny 2 or 3 times a week at the moment so will keep a look out.

Passed 03 plate Grey Z4 about 4:15 NB on the A1 south of Newark - too dark to wave but exchanged indicator / headlamp flashes - followed me for a few miles before leaving the A1.

Zed Carer

I also had this problem twice on a Z3 - first time just before the car was 3 years old that was fixed under warranty - the dealer said that a new motor had been fitted. It failed again 3 years later but this time the dealer said that the frame was bent and wanted £800 to provide and fit a new one - ...

Very nice - looks fabulous.

However did you arrange for a nice clean car and sunshine at the same time?

Hi to everyone from the Zed Carer.
