Hi all, Whilst not a Roadster owner anymore, couldn't stay away from the mark or this site. Currently selling my beautiful 330 Ci, listing it here in case anyone is looking for one. The car is on ebay with pictures - item number :: 321238686457 I have sold this car twice, the buyers were unable to c...

Hi Xvar

Just curious if you managed to sort this fault out?

Gelertd1 You will probably find the below two threads of great interest. Odds are if you lose the key you will also lose the fob. My posts within these threads will take you to Komis' post of some years ago that I have referred countless people to. None of it is that hard to do. Robert is right only...

triumphted

No its really not. As long as you are confident to take off the trim (not hard) and then manipulate the module location its easy. i was a little hesitant but would certainly have a go again if i had too. I just read the posts - all of them several times to digest it all. The pictures i added are hel...

I've got a 97 1.9 that is fine. But should it have remote central locking ? it came with a brick type fob which flashes when pressed but does nothing !!! any help please Check out this one specifically. You can do it all on your own drive with a bit of time and courage!! http://www.zroadster.net/fo...

triumphted

Incidentally a new key will not always cost that much. There are two versions of the following story: A number of spares are made with the car so I am told and stored at the factory. They can be ordered through dealerships and are delivered in 3 - 4 days from Germany. It depends how many spares have...

triumphted

I could be wrong but I thought that a 1998 would have a separate remote fob for the locking and alarm.The key remotes were later. :puzzle: Is the correct answer. The car would once have had a torch BMW Key and a Grey black triangular like fob with it to activate the alarm system if fitted - Most we...

Hi Didn't own a 2.0 - so no expert. This sounds to me like a Cam / crank position sensor issue. I think the 2.0's have these. Really you need to get it plugged in and a diagnosis ran on Carsoft or something similar to define the issue through fault codes. The sensors are about £80 IIRC, and with at ...

Hi

Have a great trip - i did LeMans last year in mine and loooved driving in France, - with the roof down all the time of course.

Having sold the zed, I have a bulb set from halfords - never opened.

PM me if you need one for the trip and make me an offer.

Regards

2.8 does not have a sender unit. It is viscous.

Bill

What is the embarassed for? I am offering sound advice imo.

I am puzzled and do not wish to hijack this thread. Just want to help a member with a problem.

triumphted

Of course check the basics as the above correctly state. Apologies I should have said that. I would hope for a thermo issue but experience tells me that this will be viscous related, especially the fact it has ocurred in this 'extreme' weather. The difficulty is diagnosing the failure of the couplin...

triumphted

Xvar I have been away from Zeds for a time now, but would like to offer a bit of advice here: Your profile states a 2.8. This answer is 2.8 specific. Firstly I do hope you have not suffered any damage as that sounds like it could be a close run thing if the head has got that hot. The Zed has a tempe...

Very childish and cowardly post. There is no limit to the foolishness of youth sometimes. Even my 7 year old would have done better.

The funniest thing is you are reading this and the other responses, aren't you...........

John

I see. Your turrets do not have the cut outs so i am not sure if whether you could convert to it or whether it would be worth it.

I would suggest you need one of the other types for sure, but as that set up is different to mine i cannot help there!

triumphted

My Z went some time ago, but for some inconceivable reason I forgot I had the deflector. The full description is on the ebay listing. Mine is starting at £25 No reserve, not the one that is £225 buy it now. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-Z3-Wind-Deflector-Type-1-/320695723125?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_Car...

Hi John Although it is about a year ago that I sold my Z I have coincidentally found and listed the deflector I had on ebay this week. I was just checking back here to advertise the sale on stock exchange when i saw your post. Mine is a Type 1, which in my opinion is the easiest to fit. It is of cou...

Hi Had a similar issue on my Zed last year there are some threads on it. The garage diagnosed as Viscous coupling, i also had the pump and thermo changed. Ater fitting three viscous couplings and still running warm they and I discovered a cold spot in the radiator ie it was blocked towarsd the bottt...

Not to my tastes, and what a way to get through some cash. £7k spent, wow.

triumphted

All As some of my recent posts suggested I have now sold the Z3 and moved on to an AUDI S3 Quattro. I will not be a great loss to you all as I am not the busiest of posters, but fairwell all the same. The Zed was a great car and the advice, both buying and maintaining on here was absolutely first cl...

Of course, i will be putting a post on the forum to thank all for their help etc over past 2 years, and maybe have some piccies then.

Mike The first two I had were pattern parts and GSF advised the issues they have with them. The last one is a BMW part and still seems to be faulty so unsure why. You are right it is like a helicopter rotor when it kcks in. Mike does yours kick in frequently around the mid mark on the gauge, maybe i...

triumphted

Rob13 and Robt thanx, thought i read that somewhere about the gauge. Its a manual so really the center of the gauge should be the norm. Ardchyle that is helpful as i can see using the carsoft laptop that it sits in the green on the whole, and just dips into the red. I will now try to simulate if the...

Hi all Some may remember I had a viscous fan issue with my 98 2.8 back in september 09. I had a rising temperature gauge whilst in traffic during warmish weather, which culminated one day on the M25 when in traffic it reached 3/4. Knowing the car well I diagnosed the fan as failing and stopped and h...

Respect for all the replies. Thanx If it happens I will start a thread. Of your suggestions thus far here are my thoughts: Please don't be offended if I dont take to some - I am a bit fussy..

beemz I ve often considered the Audi TT 225 Coupe and would be interested in your observations on the comparison of it to the Z3 2.8 I wonder about running costs as in the next couple of months I may end up increasing my weekly commute by 300 miles per week, if that were the case keeping the Z3 - mi...

Phil This does depend on the fob / alarm you have. The earlier Z3's were fitted with a dealer fit alarm i believe and this has the seperate fob with grey and red buttons.

Sorry to hear about your accident. When the money does come through consider a trip to the auctions.
