works for every car i have

gookah

yes that will do it..
after a few runs the light should reset itself,

But get those hoses changed......

gookah

they should have them on the shelf..

is it number 3 on the below page?

http://realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?i ... Id=34_0369

if so it is a 32mm long m12x1.5 high tensile bolt, and the wheel bolts fit as an emergency repair only.

gookah

why not the BMW parts department in the morning.?
my sons car shed one of these on the way to a show, we used a wheel bolt as a temporary fix until he got a replacement.

Nick, it would be a shame to lose you but I can't say it is a surprise, the same has happened recently on Z4-forum with members leaving because they have an M badge, or want to put one on! I notice that not one person on .org has mentioned it after having the same photo's. fair play to them Others d...

I honestly don't know what your problem is with pepper pots, I have them on mine no problem, however you might be interested to know that the young petrol heads are buying them up if a z3 is scrapped they are in buying the pepper pots apparently they fit leds into the holes so consequently they are...

Hi Geoff. Please remember that the type of hoops with the bar joining them are purely cosmetic. They will offer no protection whatsoever in the event of a roll.... A. Don't worry too much though as it is no worse than some of the early Z3's which have no hoops at all. the protection is built into t...

Ah - wishful thinking if you ask me. And I'm suspicious about the lack of personal information regarding the seller. what does that mean??? That is really strange Tim, because from the eBay advert I can see Your full name, Your Business name, your address, your VAT number, your 100% feed back score...

I prefer mine to be a healthy pinky/red colour.

thats a narrow route in good weather, let alone bad.
Don't think it would have got through the MOT, looks like his rear brake pipes are rusty...... but they are easy to change in that position.

I'm getting a lot of kick back through the steering on rough roads :shock: Will see what it's like once the suspension is done, hopefully not worse!!

How is the window holding after this time Gookah? no leaks, and the seal can't separate like the zippy ones, however I have the normal line starting to form across it from dust rubbing on it. Not polished it out yet as the roof is always down so it doesn't bother me. I also have a couple of rub mar...

gookah

Had one fitted there 2 years ago at £325 for a blue one, as did my son.
Even now says on his website it is £325.
Must charge £100 for the relief pockets.
Excellent workmanship though,

gookah

to reduce convertible scuttle shake which the Coupe doesn't suffer from due to having a roof.

gookah

could be water pump impeller slipping... does it warm up when you rev it?

gookah

boot and some string.. what's the big fuss.

gookah

dodgy main seal in new calliper?. i would be tempted to fit the old on back on and see if it gets the feel back.

gookah

I am considering modding them to be honest so I only really want the right size. I have to take the door card off both sides to see the extent of the damage to the wiring and to repair so whilst I am at it, I was thinking about drilling a hole through the bolt and once its screwed in place, hooking...

gookah

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can't even get a FRONT wheel in the boot. BMW supplied a plastic bag in which to place the removed wheel so that you put it inside the car without getting the seat dirty. If ever you have to do this, make sure that you full deflate the tyre before placin...

i would remove the rocker cover and check the head bolt at the back of the engine by the exhaust. They are a common break. My wifes had snapped and was lying alongside the rockers, with a nicely blown head gasket. M43 engine. Other checks I did first, Take off the expansion cap with the engine cold....

gookah

a night photo would be interesting to see as I thought of doing this mod myself

gookah

did you put it on top of the previous display, or swap it for the new one?

I recently bourght some chrome kidneys off ebay. they fit the z3 and z4 they look very good for £40. But the fit is poor i have had to bond them in, when i contacted the seller he didnt want to know I would say that anyone that supplies grilles to fit two cars, will mean that they are a poor fit on...

Could have bought these two for the asking prices of some dealers for one, and still had change. At least these sold, and are not still on a listing somewhere. At £9K you could have a new vanos, and £4k respray and still be quids in, regardless of how "perfect" the others may be advertised...

gookah

Unless an indicator bulb shows WHITE light it should not fail. It should be pass and advise. This was told me by the local VOSA man several years ago and still is true. However, how mean do you have to be before you can afford to change a bulb or two to make sure your car passes it's M.O.T.. Why do...

my tuppence. I believe most zeds went to Shepshed this year, which in effect wasn't a show, just a meet, however still circa 100 zeds there. I have heard many comments about Gaydon this year being lacklustre, poorly attended and represented. I have attended Gaydon the last 3 years and it has become ...

Just done mine with the same problem. Removed the arm and two hits with a rubber mallet bent it enough to have loads of clearance. I wasn't going to adjust the bonnet and all the shut lines just for a wiper arm. a bit over the top. The height difference was probably caused by different wiper blades ...

That is probably the tyres . I have 19s on mine with no tramlining. All zeds are very particular to tyre choice which can cause/cure tramlining.

I will have a set of the black 'seat belt zeds' please Barry..

Hope you get better soon.

I have changed the rear springs recently and they were really difficult to pry in and out of place, I cant imagine it will be an easy job (with my limited tool set) to easily fit thicker pads under them or add extra's compared with the work required on the 2 options above.

B centrifugal action takes the air from the centre to the edge. the edge throws the air out, not tries to suck it in. It is in effect an impeller as in a centrifugal pump..
