I read this post with some interest as I'm looking to move out to North Carolina and was thinking do I take my beloved Z3 with me :? sounds like its not easy(like US immigration). Steve.

Mine had a hesitation/flat spot at 1000/1500rpm was thinking it may need plugs, but then it dropped to two lights so i gave it a service and reset the lights and bingo

no flat spot.

I saw a small shot of some blue dial faces from Hamonn in a Z with blue dash top and it looked cool, so got some from Lockwood to try but did'nt quite look the same

also did'nt like the fact that you had to remove the original faces so no going back if you did'nt like the result

Steve.

Devon Z

Keep a look out they do come up sometimes, i got some off this forum

their de-badged and look good and makes my car look nothing like an M

I had a similar problem with mine since new and i did finally get the roof replaced just before the warranty ran out but my mark/wear was just ahead of the frame above the driver and was been caused by the beading of the rear window touching the fabric when folded (just on the drivers side). The rea...

All last year i had this irritating hesitation/misfire around 1500/2000rpm(3 green lights) well just dropped to 2 lights so gave it a service yesterday and reset the service lights,and bingo no misfire/hesitation runs a dream

moral is reset lights at three.

I always shop round when i get the renewal but nobody could beat Elephant, i'm 43 with 6years NCD protected, £250 excess, £270 on 99 2 litre garaged. I think the on-line companies are been more competitive at renewal time to keep your business.

Arh yes i did a lot of reserch on this when i first got my Z in 99 thinking i could get some nicer wheels on the after market than the BMW options at the time, and you can if you spend a lot of money.

Lockwood do the dial face's(superdials.com) it show's all the colours on the website, if you like the blue i've got a set you can have cheap

Steve.

Devon Z

I've looked into this, i bought some blue dial face's but to fit them it involved removing the original face's so hav'nt fitted them but one other problem was that the orange illumination is in the dial face's not the bulbs and the replacement faces were clear so the bulbs would need to be coloured ...

Welcome to another 2.0 sixer

Enjoy.

Steve,

Devon Z

Had my 99 2.0 since new and I'm only going on what the computer say's average 24/28mpg. I've tried Optimax and Esso Ultima and found little improvement but find it much more lively on super unleaded.

Steve,

Devon Z

I've had one since new in 1999 and I had a 1.9 16v before that and yes performance wise there's not much in it but the way it does it

the sound, the smoothness plus the better looks of the wider body.

Service, repair cost's are the same as other sixes.

Steve,

Devon Z

I feel the same about the poor old 2.0

I only live 5 Min's from work so walk and the rest of the time use the wife's car if it's raining so 12000 miles on the Z in 5 years but every one was sunny

Steve,

Hi c_w, so you only needed to fit the top mounts? and what geometry settings have you used?. I've had Eibach springs on my 2.0 since it was two months old and I had the geometry checked by the dealer who said it was spot on the schnitzer settings they used, I'm thinking of doing this mod if it will ...
