Mine flashes up for a few seconds if the belt is not fitted. In US cars the light would stay on and a beep would start.

The main point of draining from the screen while at speed is the top corners of the glass. You will notice the black sticky plastic on the windscreen frame has damage from the combination of the water, vortex and screen wash there. Any volume of water on the screen will exit at those top corners. Ra...

I have the Black and Decker PAD1200 . It has a small hose that means you can use the crevice tool to get in round the seats, and runs from the cigarette lighter so doesn't need charging or an expensive battery that wears out over time. It doesn't give as good a deep clean as a Dyson connected to the...

Yes. Go into the SRS menu and clear the fault and the light goes out.

Quite like the black gills with silver.

You may not have an exhaust cam? Is it on your particular engine, as I thought that was for the M52TU. Mike F will know.

OMG!! too much government control... Foglights generally don't blind oncoming traffic, unless it's a high SUV. The law is the law I'm afraid. :wink: Highway code rule 226 You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet)....

1500RPM in top gear is the most economical in my BMW with the fast responding fuel consumption gauge on the dash.

Change in the law, you say? As I read it on the relevant department's website it is a grey area and proffers advice only because the Construction and Use regulations do not cover the actual light source because they were drawn up when incandescent was the only choise.

Very few members sell up, maybe 1 or 2 sets in 3 years. But if you are looking for a cream set, then best brew some coffee, as it could be a long wait.

Could be a frayed wire shorting or a motor winding that is frayed. You need a multimeter to test further.

If it's an M52TUit won't have one.

Since there is no "From" date on the part 13541435627, it replaces the part 13541437191 for all years of Z3.

13541437191 was discontinued/updated in 2003.

The one reason I would be wary about this comes from my experience with my diesel Mk3 Mondeo. I fitted a kit from a reputable supplier - not a cheap Ebay Chinese kit (although it's probably Chinese anyway) - and it works very well with no dazzle or flashing from other drivers. However, it does inte...

Ah, skid avoidance! I thought you just wanted to ruin a set of tyres!

Check out Carlimits, it's high speed driving including skid control and the the tuition is excellent, plus there are no chavs in VTRs to slam into you like on an open track day.

First try BMMiniparts, the cooper bmw parts.

estocks

Skidpan or high speed driving course? For the latter, carlimits is excellent. If you just want to hoon sideways on a wet skidpan, Milbrook perhaps?

Yup, but the intake is similar/same shape. It was the best picture I could find on Images.

Awesome. Videos please, with good sound

Check out the shapes of the 6 intake manifold pipes. The M52 is curly with a box accross the ends, the M52TU is right angles and smooth.

I wish the Police would do more to fine people for driving unroadworthy cars. I also wish they would take action towards people driving with their fog lights on when it's not foggy, which is also not permitted.

It's going to be sound deadening. I don't think 1.9's suffer from boot weld problems, only the ///M cars due to the huge power they can produce.

Check the Wiring Diagram for your car, but I think the HK amp powers the front speakers too, so you can't just remove it without fitting some kind of a relacement, or you will get no sound from the fronts. As for replacing the HK sub, check out what used to be roadstersounds. Not cheap though. Also ...

This function is called speed dependant volume [GAL]. You can adjust the amount by which the volume is increased as the speed increases from 0-6 by entering the service menu. Entering the service menu is different for different BMW headunits, but it usually involves holding down a MENU button or sim...

What link?

In any case, search on eBay for (KKL, KL, 409.1,OBD2, OBDII) USB and buy the cheapest one from either the UK or China.

Next search for (16 20, OBD2, OBDII) BMW and buy the cheapest one from either the UK or China.

Have you looked up the PN of the facelift light on Realoem, then done a part cross reference to see what years it can be fitted to?

Whereabouts are you wiggling the cable? Sounds like a bad Ground.
