Many thanks.

I'll chuck this at my mechanic!

Passed the MOT yesterday with two advisories. Front pads wearing low and slight oil seepage from offside of steering rack, about which the guy on the phone said 'you might need a new steering rack?' It seemed an off the cuff remark - he's not the mechanic - and it sounds rather drastic? Not being me...

There's nothing worse than uncomfortable seats. Personally I find the Z ok as I prefer to sit lower in a car and that lets me do just that. The fully adjustable electric recaros with lumbar support are the best seats I've found for comfort and range of adjustability. Is the steering wheel at relaxe...

I was asked by a friend what inspired me to buy a Z3 and the best answer I could come up with was that i'd known a couple of people who had them from new - one a firey red driven by the footy teams goalkeeper hand brake turned on the car park James Bond style, the other in green metallic with a grey...

Thanks all............. I don't think there's a charging problem, I haven't been driving her much over the winter months so all of my own making. I understand a very low battery may not allow a jump start? Been on a trickle charger since yesterday morning and all fully charged. Until the next time :...

Sorted!

1 hour on charge and she's fired up...

Having committed the cardinal sin of allowing the (new last year) battery to discharge I've had to jump start zeddie twice in the past couple of months. A bit of a run and a 5 mile round trip enables a normal start and put on charge for a few hours and she's good to go for a few weeks. Today however...

I use this stuff......Poorboys Natural Look Dressing on seats, dash etc., Goes a long way and quite forgiving, just wipe it on and give it a quick buff. Not sure if it would help on already glossy seats though? http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/poorboys-natural-look-dressing/prod_328.html Gets ...

You can have mine for £35k and as a forum member i'll give you 50% discount

There always seems to be one or two for sale but normally older models or high mileage. Certainly not the same level of choice.

A tenner on the key, new battery I guess.........drivers side door switch, with power folding mirrors, 87 quid, 40 something for passenger side. Charged 100 quid for investigating all the issues, using second hand Ebay or breakers yard switches estimated around 60 quid all in, plus the key tenner an...

Warrior

Update, for info...

Had an Auto Electrician look at the faults, 100 quid!

Needs new drivers side switch, passenger side switch. Radio volume faulty -leaving. Dash display may return, put down to damp - leaving.

With second hand switches going to come to a couple of hundred!

I've been charged with the responsibility to sell my recently deceased father in laws Vauxhall Vectra and have had a couple of electrical issues with it as follows......

I've had Zeddy for around 4 years now and she's been washed, cleaned and given a decent coat of wax on a regular basis so has not been affected by being kept outside. Apart from the green stuff on the hood and whatever the wind decides to blow up the garden now and again. I've got a cover but report...

If you get stuck I can send you piece of anti vandal window film. It's quite thin but perfectly clear and normally used over glass. Chuck a brick at it and the window won't disintegrate!

I repair TV sets. I took a TV in from a customer that had no picture. They accepted an estimate of £85 to replace a circuit board. I fitted the part and the TV worked. However there was a slight blue cast to the background on the left side of the screen. I found this was a fault with the screen and...

Be nice to see a PIC of the Beetle! My first car!!!

'Y' Reg as well....................!!! What does that make an 02 worth? I'm pleased with my 3.0i Z3 auto, although i'm not what you'd call a petrolhead with a string of previously owned sports cars. In fact she's my first convertible, my first genuine sports car and i've been driving for over 40 yea...

Saw a guy demonstrating this at a classic car show.

Effectively a superglue that doesn't stick to your fingers that would for example join rubber belts end to end in seconds.

Anybody used it and found it wanting?

Warrior

Rather than start another insurance surprise thread.... We have 3 cars on a multi vehicle insurance policy (not the Zed). Missus calls up to make a very minor amendment and mentioned that she'll be looking for best prices when the policy runs out in 2 weeks time. No problem madam have £400 off!!!!!!...

Thanks all.......... It was bought from a main VW Dealership that has been having a lot of building/steel work carried out so most likely done on site. They are over an hours drive away we took it to the local main dealer and had their body shop guy look over it who said it would need mopping all ov...

Fortunately not the Zed but on a near new VW Polo my daughter has just bought. Looks immaculate on the drive but giving it it's first wash yesterday revealed 100's of very small iron filings over the roof and bonnet. I tried claying which works with a bit of elbow grease but have read about various ...

Hope this is ok on here!? Being sold by my daughters boyfriend.

Warrior

Nice car and rather than it be top price I'd say its probably undervalued?

I've not looked at prices lately but I'd want considerably more for my 3.0 were I to sell, but my mileage is close to half yours.

But at lunchtime.

Thanks. I thought I'd seen something before

I've been talking to a motorcyclist friend who's shown me what they put on bike screens which has given me some ideas.

Will report back..

Restarted the next day and light still there.
Tried it again tonight and gone.

Getting a full service, oils changed and diagnostics and will report back.

Many thanks

Warrior

Thanks Colb. I'd got that far and hoping somebody might be able to throw a bit more light on things...

Warrior

Had a light come on tonight...............a toothed cog with an exclamation mark in the middle. Referred to user manual and it's some sort of gear selection electrical fault.

Can anybody shed some more light on this for me, thanks?

Warrior

Perhaps it's time to begin the search for a really low mileage 3.0 or even a 2.8. I would even speculate on the pre-facelift models being the ones which will experience a price increase, if for no other reason than the body shape which is the same as the M cars... Food for thought perhaps. Don't ne...

I've twice had to stick the chrome trim back onto the doorhandle, the last time using some super heavy duty signmakers double sided tape.

Fortunately i've not lost it but that's more luck than judgement.

Can I buy the shaped to fit double sided pads that would originally have come with the trim?

I saw the heading and was ready to put pen to paper about driving through a very busy Wembley 'High St' at 1am on a Saturday night in just my socks

Thankfully not in a roof down Zed!

Have you considered a 3d printer? I saw some serious pieces that had been produced on one last week. Not cheap but prices dropping all the time.

I've just insured with Privilege and saved a fair few quid over Hagerty who I've been with for 4 years.

MOT day today. Passed but 'we had to change a bulb'.

Warrior

My point is, in one scenario, the "migrants" add value - in the other they degrade value - and not simply financial value. I'm fairly sure the Spaniard selling his property is not put off by rising property values driven by the immigrant demand, or the incomes earned by the various indust...
