It's on the way to France, and went lower in price.
Shame nobody on here got it because it really was a bargain!

many thanks to everyone for their replies.
I've sent the number to him so we'll see what comes of it.

Thanks again

Hmm, I've never heard of a PNI check. I know what HPI is, but not PNI. Chances are, he simply wants to check and see what maintenance has been done by BMW themselves over the years, which I assume he could access for free on his work systems with the last seven digits on the chassis number. thanks f...

muckyman

Hi all, just a bit of advice wanted on the following please... I've had my Z3M advertised on PistonHeads and had a query come through on email from a chap who says he is a mechanic in a BMW dealership. He wanted to check my car through his database history but as its got a 'private' registration num...

Many thanks guys

to adjust from the handbrake lever, do I simply lift the leather boot and then ....... (?) I assume there will be two cables and two nuts of some kind. Maybe locking nuts? Do I simply loosen off the locking nut for the passenger side cable and tighten the cable a little (with the handbrake in the of...

muckyman

Hi guys
going to attempt a fix this evening but we seem to have two differing views here.
One says adjust the cog at the rear hub and the other says adjust the cable under the handbrake lever. Any views on which I should be doing? (rattle is only from the left rear)

muckyman

often thought about this kind of thing. Any idea what they are charging the owner for it?
Any chance of snapping a few photos?

muckyman

many thanks for the info. To clarify (maybe being a numpty), am I correct in thinking that there is no requirement to remove the disc and caliper for this? I simply take the wheel off and turn the disc until I can see the "toothed cog" and adjust this accordingly? Is there a gap somewhere ...

muckyman

Ta for that.
Seems a little complicated to me though.
Do you think something in there could be the cause of the rattle?

muckyman

Hi all, my rear left has developed a rattle which I think is related to the brake. The rattle occurs only over rougher road surfaces and stops completely if I click the handbrake on one notch. Cables have not popped out of their clips under the car. Does anyone have a step by step fix for what this ...

Its def gonna be the 1.9 or the 2.0 as I am planning to use it as my daily drive so need to keep fuel costs down and tax to. I use my M as a daily driver and find the fuel consumption quite reasonable ( if driven lightly) plus its got the benefit of making you grin from ear to ear when you prod it ...

thanks for the input Bob. I've updated the PistonHeads advert as a result

muckyman

I would remove all the faults you have rectified and only give the information either when people view the car or if asked, as it looks as though it has had problems which would put off anyone who wants one but does not know about these problems or about this type of car. Just my opinion. bill than...

muckyman

dust the inside of the boot "walls" with talc and wait until it rains. The water run should be evident in the talc. Its a bit of a messy way to trace it but its easily cleaned up afterwards and it worked a treat on my old MX-5 when it had a leak in the boot.

muckyman

Hi guys, can you give me some advice on my advert please? (links below) What am I doing wrong with it, that I'm getting no response? Its been almost two weeks on here and PistonHeads and I've not had a single enquiry, let alone a viewing. I know its a pretty niche market, but its a cracking little c...

muckyman

auto car washes have never been a problem in any of my convertibles (TVR Chimaera, Mazda MX-5, and now the Z3M) I think as long as the roof is in good condition and it doesn't leak under normal circumstances, then you'll be OK. But..... on the very rare occassion I do use the car wash, I always remo...

Classic Insurance..... Can anybody support this - claim, (no pun intended) what criteria need to be met to qualify for classic insurance?

Love MX-5s.
My mark 1 ended up with 245BHP and 210 torques.
Sold it.
Missed it.
Bought it back 2 years later.
Sold it.
Miss it.
May buy it back again one day.

muckyman

saw something like this at a PistonHeads Sunday Service last year, but they had also done the front and rear badges as well.
Not my cup of tea at all, but well done for being daring enough to differ from the masses

muckyman

I thought that USING the air con simply increased fuel consumption, but maybe robbed a tiny bit of power. I would imagine that if you physically removed it, then you would simply have some weight saving to the car, but doubt it will add any more power. Slightly off topic, but does anyone have a phot...

Hi all
I'm after a mesh wind deflector (with all fittings) to go on my Z3M (with standard roll hoops) in good condition.
I prefer to collect with cash and am based in St Albans - Hertfordshire - so the closer the better (don't want to travel too far)
thanks
Michael

That's the plan, and drive faster too.
Even so, it would be nice to have cold air blowing around my feet

muckyman

Grrrrrrrr, lovely weather and bloody air-con not working.
The button lights up and that's it, not even a noise from the engine bay or a slight increase in revs at idle.
Slightly annoying

muckyman

no offense intended fella, but christ almighty - thats ugly!!
Why would you fit a gimp mask to such a lovely car?
Fitting some protection film would be sooooo much better

But, each to their own - it would be a boring world if we all had the same tastes

muckyman

where are you based fella?
Could be interested in this..
