I did some more investigation today. After inspecting all fuses in the fusebox closely, Fuse 34 had a hairline fracture that meant it was passing current intermittently. I've replaced this fuse. Compared with last night, the offside reversing light is now working, but offside rear indicator and offs...

A couple of weeks ago, literally a couple of days after an MOT, I was driving and when indicating the indicators went at double speed. Fortunately I had a spare bulb on me, so I replaced the failed bulb at offside rear. However, when I went to check the new bulb, putting on the right indicator, noth...

My original battery did this and I replaced it when it was 13 years old, and the current battery is 9 years old this year. Currently, I've got insuffi...

Mine is terrible for condensation. Prior to Covid, my Z3 was my daily driver, and the condensation was a minor irritant in the winter.

I fitted a new gasket to prevent the bracket from rattling about. This did not solve the problem. I replaced the rubber mount on the ...

Thanks for the responses. Perhaps I will carry out the works on the handbrake, and through replacing components I may be able to identify or rule out issues with the linkage.

I had terrible water ingress problems, with puddles of water sitting on the leather seats after nights sat outside in the rain. Evidently the leather seats are good given the amount of water they held! The problem, as already mentioned, is rubber bungs at the top corners of the windscreen. Rain wate...

Hi. I'm new to the forum. I've got a 1999 BMW Z3 roadster with the 2.8 litre straight six. I've owned it for nearly four years, although it has been in the family since 2004. I have an unresolved noise issue. A couple of months ago the car developed a clattering/tapping noise which appeared to come ...
