i have a 3.0 and tend to drive it quite fast (upto the speed limit) :) so, 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, all happen quite quickly.... at the moment if you change in a corner, then you need to be aware that its going to move as you change gear, you get a wobble.. ish... a slight unnerving feeling shall ...

do you want it to go faster/corner better.... or look prettier?

You need to have a good look about. It's probably something plastic that's weeping. But might not do it hot. Only cool.. Or only hot. Or whilst cooling lol.
My audi only leaked when cooling.

Mine just had sticky pads in the caliper due to rust. Needed new pads and discs and a good file.. All ok now.

No wonder they went bust its a bit excessive

EBay has some..... Just cos it's not oem and is a pretty colour doesn't mean it's worse or stiffer.
The red ones are probably the same but £22

With spacers on the rear, surely this makes it tend to understeer more?
Or is it so slight you can't tell

mines a 3.0, on 15" wheels.... all drives fine, nice and slideable, 4 wheel drifting etc!
but.. they do look naff, and i want bigger brakes..... do you pick 16 or 17's?
its fairly soft in my opinion compared to my S4, but its a lighter car and they tend to be softer.

wheel spinning it sideways out the drive...........

mine leaked when it rained loads the other week. i cleaned the whole rubber above the windscreen top... was full of all sorts. then cleaned both side of the A pillar rubber, the bottom of it was full of rubbish so the water couldnt escape and filled up the pocket at the top and came in the car. its ...

i agree.. they are so much fun in the ice/snow/greasey salted roads......
ive been driving it more in the winter than the summer lol

Any pictures?

Don't you find it more fun or just as much to drive in the wet or gritted roads?
Sliding cars is great fun even up to 20mph lol
Seems a shame to sorn them.

They are a common thing these days. Modern cars are put together with lots of them by robots of course.... And more Complicated methods like tox pressing.
Enables you to hang a huge force off a tiny m6 bolt

How many left is a better site
Google it lol

dont buy off these lot... but http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Product.do?method=view&n=5926&p=571759&d=124&c=4&l=2&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Base&utm_campaign=Panel%20Tools%20&%20Accessories&gclid=CjwKEAiAyO_BBRDOgM-K8MGWpmYSJACePQ9CaK4T5qRDspqFI1kbbslgNyaJZn...

maybe i should have said some kerbs... usually slow ones....lol

Soo...this might just be a trait of the Z3 being a softtop... but is the button in the middle of the seats that looks like a demist button, actually supposed to demist the window? i havent looked very closely into what it does or should do......obviously there isnt the normal heater element in the w...

has anyone come across the indicator repeaters for a reasonable price anywhere? (long thin ones)

Thought that is what you all meant... umm all cars do it to some degree, like the wiki link says some are worse than others. its impossible to make cars ignore the bumps and grooves in the road. why do you think racing cars go over the kerbs? its because they want the effect of the kerb to pull the ...

So you mean wandering around on a straight Road?
Or just over bumps?

Do they tend to have bump steer?

Can you be more specific as to what you mean by tramlining?
To me I've only had this ever on motorways in lane one?

just buy a brand youve heard of...
the expensive brands are just expensive, not better.
they own the cheaper brands too...... if you was an expensive brand, youd want a cheap brand too so you covered all the market wouldnt you?

What did you restore the headlights with? did you buy different bulbs too?
ive got another car with crazed headlights and just wondered!

Its nearly winter... and since i dont know the exact history of my car, its probably best to changed the coolant.

had a look about and the BMW stuff seems ridiculously expensive! so what do you use?
and how much do you need for a 3.0?

Thanks for replies. More I drive it the more it's definitely front of car.
And first is a little hard to get sometimes so it's interesting about the clutch hose comment.
My guess is I've got two things going on.

Changed the front discs and pads to get rid of a horrible "oh sh** im not going to stop feeling" turns out only one of the pads was moving in the caliper and the other was just bending and hardly touching the disc! anyway, the Pagid pads seem fine and can cram them on nicely. but..... one ...

I was thinking dual mass flywheel.... So it's nice no one said that lol.
It's worse in traffic like u say too..... Something must bang noises don't come from nowhere.

My 3.0 makes a clunk when changing up.
More noticeable in lower gears when you put clutch in.
And sometimes when you let it out again.
Doesn't seem to be throttle dependant as can't make it happen without using the clutch.
It could be many things and I have my ideas but anyone had a similar thing?

had a better look today, doesnt look like any air is going through that pipe, hot or cold. the pump kind of ticks rather than makes a pumping sound.... so i guess thats fried anyway! soon as i get chance ill make a plate and remove the lot im guessing the rest of the vacuum pipes (little ones) are e...

Thought as much. Seems pointless to carry the weight of it around for just start up. I'll remove it tomorrow when it stops raining.

New pipe is something like 45 quid!!!

The picture i meant to post!

so, on my 2001 Z3 3.0 this pipe is pretty much useless, its got hot/old and feels a little like blue tac!

pretty sure this is just the emissions re-circ pipe? so i could remove it? and plug it up?
but, is that a good thing? anyone done it before?
