I managed to get there just in time for lunch :D I'd managed to do 345 miles by that time :shock: The afternoon session was made up of good roads in typical Spokey style.

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- us...

You will need to remove the inner lining under the bonnet, if you have one, then remove the metal clips that hold the washer part to the tubing from the water reservoir. You might be able to remove the clips without damaging them, otherwise be prepared and purchase some before.

Good luck

As alfie says above, the bonnet sensor is the common culprit. I had mine changed on my 2.0ltr 2000 Z3. In the end , they changed the whole alarm system as the controller was faulty. this seemed to cure it. I just think that the system is a bit suspect. There is also a sensor behind the stereo, and t...

Personally, I would ask them kindly to appeal for BMW good will on the wheels, they know that they are generally dodgy, I had a set changed for the same corrosion, albeit inside the warranty period. Just ask nicely. I recently has a wheel bearing fixex 5 months out of warranty, under good will, I ha...

Just did mine yesterday due to a flat tyre and the rest being a bit low. Ok it was bad timing as I was a bit short on cash but got the Dunlop SP9000 - 225/18 & 255/18 for £405 all in from www.protyre.co.uk They were very good and had no issues with swapping the tyres out, they said I should get...

All, after a particularly sh*ity drive home last night on the M8 (once hailed as the worst motorway in Europe) I've decided that the run flats must go. So far I have: 1. checked its OK with the insurance people 2. Check with BMW it does not affect the approved used warranty (see section 6.5) 3. Got...

Watcha folks, Just bought a 3.0i Z4 on a 54 plate, and noticed some scarring on front alloys. We took out a years extended warranty, but is this sort of thing covered? Any advice gratefully received. Ta. Generally it depends on a few things. 1. how the damage is caused 2. what type of wheel you hav...

I think you will find this is more to do with the fancy fonts that you can not read. Mine has 1 space, and I have had police behind me and not had a problem. As long as the fonts are standatd, and not over spaced, I think it will be ok. I always carry a spare set in the boot, so if I do get stopped...

Hi Mate Unlucky on this, I had this on my 2000 Z3 2.0ltr Facelift model. It was 5/6 years old and I did have the BMW Extended Warranty and it was all covered by that. No quibble, no question,. and that was at 38,000. Admitedly I did drive the car relatively hard, but not stupidly. So I would just su...

I tried to use the Blackcircles mobile service to fit my new PS2s but they were unable to as they were not set up to support RFT tyres. This meant that they could not get my old RFT tyres off, I had to take the car to the main depot to change the tyres. So I guess the answer to your question may de...
