I'll take the chrome grills if JoeyD doesn't.thanks,PM sent.

geminimustang

Don't like the colour of the wheels,sorry,jealous of the chrome door handles,like the colour of the car,why not start a poll? Black wheels or Silver wheels? Majority decision prevails.We're all wanting to improve the look of your zed!

ATS.Kwik-Fit,Halfords and all Tyre & Battery Sellers test your battery for free in the hope it knackered and you buy a new one but there's no committment if you ask them to test.Five minutes and you'll know.

Though the wash will work perfectly well without them,they create a vacuum so the water doesn't run back down the tube,trying to get back thro' the pump into the reservoir.For £3.20 each,may as well replace.

buy a warranty? ever had one that was worth a carrot? me,neither ! I started the topic because my oil light had come on.I,too, have done my own servicing in my youth. In general,cars were so much easier to service then,though far more unreliable. I agree there's nothing wrong in maintaining your car...

geminimustang

someone who gets stuck in regardless of whether or not they know what they're doing? we're back to competent amateur vs incompetent professional? why don't we just find a competent professional,accept the stamps confirm the work was done to the reqd standard and that will ensure z3's are seen that l...

geminimustang

not a great time to sell,prices are very low,best of luck to you.

I thought CH-X550 was a JVC CD unit? have you code for the JVC Head Unit?

geminimustang

I think Pingu was saying a competent amateur is better than an incompetent professional and i would accept that.I also accept that to keep spending £100 for an oil service,£180 for a service 1 and £240 for a service 2 on a car worth £2-3K is almost impossible to justify.However,when you have a Z3 ,1...

geminimustang

if i understand you,a competent amateur is better than a professional? I don't follow that,sorry.

Indie would use Fuchs 5W/40 BMW Long-life 04 fully synthetic.Any thoughts,i'm ready to go with this as i don't think it's a bad price,£85+vat.I've got no axle stands,nothing to switch off the oil light,much as i appreciate you can short the pins,no garage so i would likely get wet.Also adds a little...

geminimustang

most cars tick over at 800-900 rpm,500 is very low imho

geminimustang

Thanks for reply,quoted £85+vat from a BMW Indie,enquired at another and await price.

geminimustang

Oil service light has come on.What does an Indie charge these days for an oil service and should i expect other costs when car goes in for this service? Thanks.

geminimustang

same problem but different solution,2 seats from ebay for £120.look great !

geminimustang

12th June, £2795, then price reduction on 23rd July to £2795.Typo?

If you'd be willing to post the mudguards,i'd be interested.

We had a problem with the passenger seat not moving.Not MOT related.The previous owner had replaced the roof and that was a welcome plus when we purchased the car.However,we soon found out why.Water had been getting in and water had got onto the rail and aluminium bracket at end of motor spindle,and...

A friend recently took his Mazda RX8,One owner,FSH,30K miles,now approx 5 years old,for which he paid £18K +,and was offered £1500 vs a brand new car costing £20K+.Rediculous ? yes,but no one offered him more.The market dictates pricing and a lot of Z3's i see for sale are over priced in the current...

geminimustang

The problem when you purchase any car is the hidden costs that come with it.Often there's a few niggly things and BMW parts aren't cheap and the Indies carry a premium compared to Fred-in-a-Shed who can fix everything runabout.The Z3 is the most beautiful car but the costs of ownership can give you ...

Autoglym is very good,a plastic sponge is incl in the kit which you use the apply the cleaner.I did a little masking before i applied the protector and truthfully skimped a bit.A couple of weeks later,i re-applied the protector using liberally.The kit i got from Amazon for less than £13 and it conta...

geminimustang

Can i suggest you contact Andrew Kirk,Birkenhead,BMW independent.This Guys reputation is great and his rates are very reasonable.He was recommended to us when we got the Z3,used him and were very impressed.

geminimustang

Before you buy anything from ebay,always check the feedback,in this case,including the "neutrals".You may reconsider.

geminimustang

so wash the car with water and then use a wash that has less water than other washes and we'll say we've washed the car dry.that man in the white coat just pulled up outside my house again,i think he wants to speak to me.

I recently paid around £75 each for Budget tyres and they're absolutely fine for me as i obey the speed limits,drive sensibly,mainly around town,it's an age-thing!Would i recommend them for someone with a heavy foot? Would i have bought them in my youth? I doubt it.As you already know,you get what y...

geminimustang

I'm intrigued.My car shows amongst the options chosen when it was purchased," Hardtop Preparation".What does this mean,if anything? Thanks,in anticipation.

geminimustang

Not a chance.The cost of fuel will mean cars that will do 25-30mpg will become a weekend toy for the wealthy.No need for legislation.Enjoy your Zed while you can!

We've got a 1997 and yes,it's on ours.

This heavy duty cover looks almost the same as the voyager but has added vents.The voyager comes in a near identical bag and has the two straps.You pays yer money and makes yer choice!

geminimustang

We've got the voyager car cover,Amazon,£70'ish. It isn't as perfectly tailored as i'd hoped but i'm nitpicking,it's still a good fit.So good shape,two straps that attach under the car,decent quality,superb in wet weather regardless of how heavy the downpour.Only negative and this applies to a couple...

geminimustang

from what angle did it look good on the zed?????

geminimustang

Thanks for replies.Had recent experience of ATS lately who gave a verbal quote and then inflated the price after the work was done.We split the difference and i won't go back.I had K-K fit an exhaust of my Daughters' Ka as they were open on a Sunday,heavy handed and the new exhaust banged against th...

our exhaust back box is coming towards the end of its' life.we're keeping the car standard,no fancy upgrades so if someone is taking off a standard back box in excellent/newish condition to upgrade and live in the wirral/merseyside/north wales area and want to sell the one their taking off,please se...

If anybody wants the instructions on how to fit front mud flaps,send me a pm and i'll send .pdf file by return.
