Re: Rear Window Query
I put the hood up and noticed a big crease/ripple down the centre of the screen. One week later and it is still there. Do you mean across the screen (horizontal) You won't get a crease if you use a window blanket when you put the hood down. I use a blanket every time I put the hood down and there's...

Re: Z3 for sale
I realize the market is slow at the moment I've just seen that a garage near me has a "R" reg ('98) Z Roadster for sale. I've not stopped to look at its mileage or condition, but from the road looks ok. Its a narrow bodied one in Montreal Blue with a hard top fitted, it has a screen price...

Never gets hot enough in this country to need aircon. I wouldn't agree with that, but Air Con is for all the year, its really useful on cold wet days to keep the windows clear, and should be switched on at least once every couple of weeks to keep it working correctly. You are correct it does increa...

Re: price
So according if the car has zero miles on it its worth what it was new !! I don't think so. Mileage is only one facter in pricing I think you may be wrong there. If a car was brought and put away unused somebody somewhere would pay the price it was new just to get it. I have seen this happen with a...
