Washer Problems - Help Appreciated
Not yet one week into ownership and first chance for a bit of DIY on my 99 (V) 2.8 Z3. The driver's side windscreen washer has packed up, nearside washer working fine. Having tried the "pin in the nozzle" as there was lots of dried polish left from previous owners with no luck - well just ...

Still catching up on jobs so did the recycling bit this morning on my to Halfrauds in Pontefract. On the way in passed a black Z4 on the A639 that was heading out towards Doncaster. On the way back home saw a very shiney red Z3 with chrome gills in the queue heading into Pontefract. Anyone on here? ...

Thanks cowboybebop for starting this thread as I am in a similar position. The Zed Owner traded in her Z3 for the Z4 last year and after earning an awful lot of Brownie Points has just about agreed to me buying a Z3 - my excuse was that it would take some of the mileage off my usual daily drive.
