Where did you take the power from, and did you route the cable behind the center console and then into the glovebox ? Took the power from the assessery circuit (audio) and if I remember right the cable drops through a hole in the panel above the glovebox so it dosn't get in the way of the glovebox ...

I've fitted a double lighter socket on a fly lead in the glovebox and put a twin port USB socket off E-bay in one socket.

May I ask what filler you have used? I've redone mine twice and got sinking around the filler.

Another ex alarm/audio fitter here for 15 years in the late 80s and 90s!! still got the bad back to prove! The interior sensor on mine works really well, the sirans are crap and I've not found an output from the control box to operate a seperate one, I'm not even sure if its battery back up. I did f...

I put a micro fiber cloth on mine overnight, mind you it is in a garage and it was only 5 Deg C.

Titan - are you receiving a copy of 'Straight Six' every month? If not, and you have paid an initial fee of £45 (£35 on renewal by direct debit) then contact the Club Office. Mike's reply explains the reason why I don't join. Is the magazine really worth £35 per year? All the other benefits that I ...

The ones that made the most difference to the driving experience were gear knob replacement then Amsoil and bleed clutch. I've had my Eibach springs on so long I can't remember what it was like before but they make car look so much better. The one I've done resenly that makes the front look soo much...

I've seen marks like this before when I worked in a bodyshop left by masking tape! It's down to very soft paint usually straight colours, red was always a favourite for it but also black. Put anything against it for any length of time and it will leave a mark, explains why some are having issues but...

Best place for chrome gills is in the skip next to the aero body kit!!
Look ok on a silver car becouse you can't really see that their chrome.

I still use my silver Motorola Razr on pay as you go and they still sell for £30 to £50 on e-bay. I was working as an auto electrition when the first cell phones came out and went on a intsalation to Robert Bosch for a car phone/portable phone that was Scandanavian Army issue, that was where the cel...

And ????

Devon Z

Thanks......not, I'll ask the question "correctly!!" elsewhere then.

Devon Z

Looks like there's some crisp cold but sunny weather on the way and I've heard all the horror stories of the window cracking and to warm the inside of the car and window before folding the hood, well what about putting it back up after your drive and the windows got cold again?

Devon Z

Been on this evening with no problems.

Devon Z

Thanks for the replies.

Devon Z

Has anybody replaced theres with ones from Euro car parts?
They list two for the inlet side.

I've ordered two wish bones for my Volvo last week and wouldn't deliver to an address other than cardholder!! Paid for next day delivery, waited in all day didn't arrive, they did refund the shipping and they arrived the next day with the delivery guy telling me they did try to deliver and put a car...

Fitted my S/hand front mud flaps today, many thanks to lookinfoolish, and first impression as has already been said is the quality is very poor and I'll see if they grow on me.

Devon Z

What blanking plates on the dash

there side window demister vents aren't they

just a thought

Devon Z

Yes that's why it's a replacement hood, once they've got patent sorted they will post a video of one working.

I hardly look out back window anyway

Devon Z

There's a thread on Bimmerforums US about a company that is close to producing a replacement hood with a glass window for the Z3, they've done it for Alfa spiders. Their talking maybe £400/£500 which isn't bad but not saying if it's heated or not. I'm sure some kind sole will post a link to the thea...

Thought mine was fairly low at 23k well there's two on E-bay in my area with 16k ! Both 3 litres one auto.

Devon Z

I think if you fit the rear axle from a 1.9 car your M wheels will fit ok. Check this out but I am sure someone has done it. PM me if you need any of the parts as I am breaking a narrow body 1.9 and have all the bits Just what I going to say :lol: , at the end of the day do want it to really look l...

I remember sitting down with options list and picking all mine

Never mine, the sun's out

Devon Z

Ahh power steering, haven't changed that one

Devon Z

Keep checking E-bay, I've seem them on there regularly

thats the non roll hoop one.

Just looked on E-bay, there's 10 on there but I don't know how to post links, your looking £200 though

Devon Z

I used a small hand pump, there used a lot by boat owners to suck the oil out of the engine rather than drain it, used it in reverse to put the oil in.

I've just replaced mine with Amoil synthetic MTF from Opie oils, lot's of good reports in the states and after a few miles transformed the gear change on mine

haven't got a clue what colour tag my gearbox has

I never saw one when I changed the oil.

There's a trader on E-bay asking £20 for one! so it's a good deal if their new

I'd have them as a spare but I just got a set of S/H one's and my old set weren't in bad nick anyway

plus I'm thinking of putting the black chrome one's back on

I've had both and there isnt much in it performance wise it's way they do it. The narrow body 1.9 16v revs beautifully and feels nimble very MX-5ish :lol: mind you it was 13 years ago I had mine and only for 18 months till I got my 2.0 which in comparison feels bigger and delivers it's power in a sl...
