For it to be designated Cat D only a year after (2001) it came off the production line (2000) with a value of £40,000 +, the damage must have been considerable/extensive and somewhat borderline in terms of being rescued. As a result it may cost more to insure now and its market value will always be...

Is this part no. for the pump or the controller? I've tried putting the number in RealOEM to see what other (if any) models it was fitted to as the Z3 shares components with the E36/E46 series but it does not recognise the number.

I have just replaced my radio with a digital and therefore have the original BMW head unit and changer. Yours for £50 if you have the wiring. :) Generally all models have the same wiring loom so the cables should be hidden behind the trim in the front nearside corner of the boot but best if people ...

As above if you are worried about it then get it checked out. As for the Z4 it is only one particular style on the newer E89 Z4 that appears to be having problems and generally it is the 19" wheel that seems to be the worst. I've not heard of any significant problems with the Z3 or E85 Z4.

Zed Carer

How did you did diagnose the ABS pump failure? I've just fostered my brother's Z3 and want to get it back on the road after a lay off. It had an intermittent ABS warning light before it came off the road. Our concern is if it's the pump rather than a faulty sensor it could be an expensive barrier. ...

I suspect that it will be the same on all models as it was fuses 13 & 18 on my 2.8.

Right now I just need to get it started (very dead battery and stuck bonnet release when I tried yesterday). And then through the MOT. The usual first advice for stuck bonnet catches is to have someone pressing down on the front of the bonnet whilst trying the release lever. Mine wasn't Escorts but...

Looking from the front on mine the fuse box is back right of the engine bay not sure where it is on a 1.9 but it shouldn't be difficult to spot. The list and location of the fuses should be on a label on the inside of the cover to the fuse box along with spare fuses, etc.

Zed Carer

Mine has just spent 6 months off the road hooked up to a battery conditioner. I pulled the fuses to the fuel pump and turned it over with 3 or 4 bursts on the starter until the red oil pressure light had gone out, then replaced the fuses and started as normal. Why? Well the 6 pots have Vanos valve u...

Hi and Welcome As far as the dampers are concerned then Sachs were/are a BMW supplier and their Super Touring dampers are generally accepted as OEM standard on the Z3 - I fitted new rear ones on mine a few years ago and they been fine.

Just had a quick look at the CITP website and Newby Hall is now showing as Sunday 10 May and tickets are now available. For those who haven't been before the system is quite straightforward 1. Register on the CITP website - it's Free. 2. When registering select the ZRoadster Group - this helps Chris...

Hi all, I'm new to this site as I picked up a black 98 Z3 2.8 last September and love it; it needs work to look as shiny as some of your pictures but there's time :D . My son also loves it and it's his B'day in May so I thought this car show would be a great day out, please can you count me in and ...

The electrical control unit can just be disconnected and removed without any brake fluid being released. When I had to change mine on a 99 2.8 the replacement unit, with the correct part nos came from 2000 3 Series and had to be recoded full details here.

Hi and Welcome. If you're after a reliable local garage in Ilkley I use Bankside Garage on East Parade. I started using them about 6 years ago when they were in Leeds and reasonably near to where I worked. They've now moved to Ilkley and I've retired but I'm still using them even though it's 38 mile...

Well the day started OK in so far as I was up at 6am and in the Zed by 7am and then it went downhill - 3 miles down the road steering wheel started vibrating above 40mph.

For me the words that sum up the day are - Moving and Awesome. Well worth leaving home at 8:20am and not getting back until 8:00pm - the car park at Heatherdene was almost empty at 9:20 but was full by just after 10:00. Thanks to pingu for the video - I did take a couple of photos during the first p...

The timing has changed and the flypast has been brought forward by 30mins is now scheduled for 16:15. Apparently some people are traveling later today and sleeping in their cars rather than risking leaving it later and not getting anywhere to park tomorrow!

I may try and make it. Is it worth missing a Grand Prix for? Probably. Any ideas of where to park as the traffic will be terrible around Ladybower. I had to give up when it was the 70th anniversary flypast as the traffic was so bad, I'm currently looking at 2 options: a) Leave home at 09:00, catch ...

I've been up and down the M1 quite a few times recently with no problems, although the 50 limit makes it a bit boring it does wonders for the mpg!

Why is that? Do the cars not have the same enthusiastic following as the Z3?
