Hi Folks. I am selling our Boston Green 1.9, manual, cream leather dash and full leather interior, recent new exhaust, recent thermostat, 92K miles, no rust, 1 months MOT, no tax, selling due to wife's illness, as she can no longer get in the car, owned the car for 2 years, just need to get rid off ...

srvz3

Full credit to you for the work you have done , it looks fabulous, can i ask where you purchased the lower wire mesh grill from, as i need a replacement for mine?
cheers

Dont buy BMW, i purchased mine off eBay for under £20, and fitted it in a couple of hours, bleeding the system was easy also, the biggest faff was replacing the cowl underneath the engine and radiator. The knowledge base is good but i purchased the Heynes manual for the equivalent 3 series, as the e...

I found a pic of the new F type covered in a vinyl of "F's" on the web ... Is there some significance to them being wrapped in this way ?? Its to stop the automotive paparazzi getting scoop photo's of the car before they are relased officially, so as other manufacturers cant steal their t...

srvz3

Pictures will definately be required upon receipt, thinking of getting this done also

Thanks

Thanks Guys more excellent advice, i agree that after 14 years the rubber on the car would have seen better days, escecially around the engine, so i will also check around for any perishing. I will get the parts on order and plan to fit them next weekend, and report back. Re a manual, I havent seen ...

srvz3

Cheers Guys. thats a lot to be going on with. I will get a new thermostat and water pump straight away. I have read that it is best to get the later water pump with the metal impeller, will this type fit my M44 engine? I will have to have another look at the coupling tomorrow, when its light, cant s...

Picked up the new Zed today, 98 S plate, 1.9, 140hp, 88K, full BMW history up to 75K, and drove it steadily from Bristol to Rugeley, approx 90 miles and there are a few issues that didnt come to light on my test drive. 1. The temp gauge hardly got out of the blue zone all the way, got about a 1/4 of...

srvz3

Cheers Mint.
Will keep an eye open also, we are near Rugeley, love the pic by the way

srvz3

Thanks Guys. Yes really glad to be back in the fold, and looking forward to some meets, dont get the car until next Saturday from Bristol, will be catching the train down early, and taking the scenic route back through the cotswolds, fingers crossed for a dry day, :sunny already looking into mods an...

Sound, keep your eyes open for a dark metallic green one, from next weekend

Hi All. Not been on here for quite a while, used to have an Arctic Blue 2.8 Z3, but sold it on a few years ago and left the fold, but after much pain of seeing Zed's all summer I have returned to the fold with a 1998, 1.9 Z3, Metalic Green (not sure of the name of the colour yet), tan leather interi...

Hi P.
Cheers and thanks for the support. As i said to Rob we have had so much fun in the car and will miss the cruises, shows and banter, but other interests have taken my eye and needs must.

cheers

srvz3

Yes way Rob. We have had sooo much fun in the car, but its such a shame that we dont use her much anymore, i have changed jobs and have a lovely 320 D SE, and amanda gets her new company C30 in two weeks, granted we will need a tin opener through the summer but she was always just for fun and i have...

srvz3

Hi all The time has come for our Zed to go to pastures new, so here she is, in all of her glory. The link below is to the pistonheads advert, if you want anymore pics just let me know and i will forward some. Thanks for all of the advice, meets, cruises, shows and fun, see you on the other side some...

Hi AW8.
Mine is up on piston heads from today, have a look and see if it's of interest.

Correct, he gained an advantage by cutting the chicane hence he slowed and let kimi back through, penalty served! The fact he had a run on him into the next corner is irrelevant, nothing in the rules AFAIK saying you cant slip stream a car or attempt to re over take immediately. good point well mad...

srvz3

if i might offer my opinion on this. the incident was typical of the type experienced by many drivers at that corner, and indeed many other chicanes throughout the gp calendar. at the end of the day it was a racing incident, and as has been stated by brundle and allen the driver who took the shortes...

srvz3

Hi Mr T
Amanda and i will be there for the butties come rain or shine, not sure about the meal after tho at the mo. wouldn't mind showing the Zed as it gives me an excuse to polish it again, like i need one.
BTW i know its been raining a lot recently but are you fully amphibian yet???

srvz3

got off early on Friday and decided to take the Zed out for a blast around Staffs. Rugeley - Uttoxetter - Eccleshall - Newport - Rugeley. only saw one Z4 in Eccleshall, (steel grey) got a thumbs up back from the driver, :D well pleased. Also out zeddin yesterday and got a wave from a nice lady in a ...

srvz3

not sure Mike.
they were refitted at the weekend and i was told that they had just moved out od their own accord, obviously under load so i suspect your assumption is correct, i will have a look at them myself at the weekend

srvz3

well done Burmagirl.
its easy when you know how.
very shinny

nice pics

srvz3

thanks Mike.
I have a feeling that the bushes were split on one side by the plonkers that fitted them, i will have a better look tomorrow when i get them reset and take action if i need to.

srvz3

a cautious word of warning re powerflex bushes. i did indeed have a full set fitted to my 2.8 a few months ago, and whilst i was underneath the car at the weekend, performing an oil change, i noticed that both of the front anti roll bar bushes had moved from their seating and were both halfway out o...

High Five MrPoz.
good point, well made.

As to alloys, mine are easily rid of brake dust and mud, but there are harider deposits of grot which don't come off, even with a good toothbrush scrubbing. Am I using the wrong shampoo (Meguiars NXT) or are my wheels beyond cleaning and in need of a refurb? try clay barring the wheels with a piece...

srvz3

so, can anyone tell me how to clean the engine bay? Where the coolant etc went all over the engine from the hole in the radiator it's just awful. burmagirl i did this last week. cover you electrics with cling film or kitchen foil. spray Auto Glym Machine Cleaner all over it, this dissolves the grea...

took the zed out for a blast on saturday and spotted 4 Z3's. Flashed my lights at the first three and got nothing back. on the 4th one i had given up as a bad job, but i did see the driver looking over as i went past, so i waved but didnt see what response i got back. i have given up with Z4's they ...

Hi Rob

There was a Classic Car Show on at Leighton Hall, near Carnforth, that I went to with my parents. They had quite a good selection of cars on show.

so glad that there are other OCD's (obsessive car detailer) on here 8-) last week before the cars in the park show i spent every night outside cleaning sorry detailing some part of the zed, it was ace. i know some folk think i need locking up but it gives me so much satisfaction cleaning the zed, lo...

srvz3

Hi Bally. the easiest thing IMHO is to stick with Meguiars kit, you need not look further. Shampoo with NXT car wash, or if you are feeling flush, Gold class wash. Dont forget to use the two bucket method, ie one full of shampoo and one clean one to wash off the grit and dirt from your washer. dont ...

srvz3

Yes please Carrie
Amanda and I had a great time last year, would love to come again this year

Thanks Pauls. We really enjoyed the event, as you say there were some great cars there to see (pics coming soon). A big thank you to Whiteminks, Robert T and Oldposer for attending both days in the rain, it was certainly a very enjoyable event. This was the first time i had shown the zed and its was...

Hi TitanTim.
just picked up your thread, nice motor, looks similar to my 98 2.8, as i am in the Stafford area i will keep my eyes open for you.
there will be a few of us at Beacon Park, Lichfield on sat/sun, Cars in the Park show, pop down if you fancy a chin wag.
changed that gear lever yet?

srvz3

excellent.
Sharky will be more than welcome.
I am a show virgin also, so to speak, i have polished the Zed so much this week that i dont think there is much paint left.

srvz3

Well just thought i would make a last ditch effort to strike up a bit of interest in this show. I have managed to arrange with the help and enthusiasm of the organisers, a club stand for Z Roadster, only problem is said organiser needs three cars displaying and we only have two, and as he has stuck ...

srvz3

well i have to say that looks gorgeous.

srvz3

just like to bring this to everyones attention again. would all of those who have expressed an interest in attending this event check their private messages, and any others who would like to attend follow the link in my first post and send off their entry form, its only £3 so get your entries in and...

ok so i'm a little late with this but at least i was there in the rain and wind and heres the evidence. spent most of the time in the museum which is free and very good. <a href="http://s277.photobucket.com/albums/kk59/srvz3/?action=view&current=DSCF0217.jpg" target="_blank">...

srvz3

go on you know you want to.

srvz3

well guys looks like i'm the longest or should that be the tallest here so far at 6ft 4 1/2" and the Zed does not pose a problem at all, i have seen a thread on here somewhere where you can remove the padding behind the seat to gain the extra 1/2" of seat travel if you are not vertically c...

srvz3

g'day mich. a fair point well made. my understanding is that claybar is abrasive, and this opinion comes from the fact that you can purchase different grades of the stuff, so yes it does remove a very small amount of paint - lacquer, but then again doesnt polish actally flatten out paint by removing...
