Surely the easiest way to see whether the mirror units are likely to work between RHD and LHD is to sit in your passenger seat and test whether your original mirrors would work to a LHD car... I guess the principle would be the reverse for LHD mirrors on a RHD car. Why would you need too? The bodie...

Well done EMEK, I've asked if he posted to the UK. Is LHD and RHD different for mirrors? Cheers The glass may be different, but the bodies have the same part number. Part 51162695143 (LEFT PRIMED EL.EXTERIOR HEATABLE MIRROR) was found on the following Z3 vehicles: Z3 Z3 M Coupé, S50, Europe (CM91) ...

When you are ready to continue looking at INPA, post your errors.

Sounds good. When time allow, you could get in there and wiggle the wires to see which part is on the verge of giving up.

Ignition must be on first and throughout.

Thanks, Ive given up on Carsoft as I dont have a hardware interface. Im just reinstalling INPA, Ive followed your instructions to the letter, and have the same hardware, but it still isnt working. I just get a load of error messages when I tried to read any modules or codes with the Function keys. ...

I've been reading the Bimmer forum, I have spotted that Carsoft has a Hardware component, which I dont have . Is this correct? Tried INPA installation as per estock thread, no go there either.

Looking forward to the race this aft, but think I'm only going to be able to keep one eye on it as I still have some work to do.

Cheers R.

I too am looking forward to the race, especially if there is a splash of rain to liven it up

Perhaps you should call the dealer you are going to order the cable from. It doesn't seem abundantly clear which one you should order.

Tell them you want the per tensioner repair cable and let them do the hard work.

If you do ever find the part number, the parts are often cheaper here.

It seems to go to the bottom of the bit you plug your belt into, rather than into the horizontal cylindrical barrel of the pretensioner. Seat belt detector then. Should be plugged in if there is a socket for it. There is another wire going from the cylinder into the bottom of the seat - that one's ...

estocks

I think that's for something else, occupancy sensor perhaps. Does it go to the tensioner? But yes, repair and protect.

Driver's seat belt pretensioner wiring has failed. The connector falls apart at the tensioner. It is a common fault to the point that there is a wiring repair kit for £15-20. It may require you to solder two wires as it may replace/bypass the main seat connector too. Part numbers here . Use a genero...

£91+VAT for a complete modern mirror seems very cheap.

Looks like a crunch and a roll to me. No fire damage.

Sorry Estocks, but the digital fuel readout uses the same sensor as the guage! Look at a wiring diagram and you will see. As an example, when my guage sensor gives up completely, and the indicated level falls to zero, so does the digital readout. The pressure sensor is a requirement only for the US...

estocks

The rate of change of the fuel guage is very very inconsistent. All you can be sure of is when the red light comes on you need fuel.

The digital Distance To Empty is more accurate as it is calculated on the pressure of the fuel, which the car needs an acurate reading of for the fueling.

estocks

Don't forget the build date on the suspesion turret is the key on when ordering date specific parts. I think the facelift happened in 09/99.

estocks

The switches can fail. Getting the seat out when they have done is a bitch. You may need to short wires together to shift the seat to access the bolts. Check with your multimeter to ensure your seats have power. The wiring diagram is here.

estocks

Surely you need to find out what's wrong instead of buying and hoping? But if you want to do that then get the GPS antenna and a MK4 DVD nav drive, and you may need to code your VIN into it with INPA or a dealer visit.

estocks

First, do a battery off reset, taking car to let the nav shut down (red light goes off) if it is a MK3. If you don't the memory could be irrepairably corrupted during a flash write (red light flashing). Next, if that does not solve your problem, enter the service mode , usually done by holding down ...

There is a cable that leads from the battery, up the firewall and throught the parcel shelf into the vehicle cabin. Follow the cable from the battery to find the route. The grommet on the drivers side is pretty full. There is an identical grommet on the passenger side with the boot lid wiring in it....

When I was looking for my first Z someone told me to don't touch anything from U.S.A. because there was a lot of wreck Z badly repair and then sold in Canada. Curious how this "expert" singled out a particular car for being more prone to being a damaged/repaired and being sold in Canada. ...

Those are one of the cheapest looking speaker I've ever seen. For reference, here's what a good quality 100mm speaker looks like. Large magnet, solid basket and surround, large rubber suspension for increased excursion. Sadly they won't fit in the Z3. http://shop.audioimages.co.uk/images/Focal_100CV...

estocks

Much as I like and promote the Z3, the one thing it is not is a track car.

It's a roadster. It has A/C, soft seats, low noise, carpets and a flexible chassis.

If you want a track-day convertible, get an Elise, or possibly a 350Z.

There is a tiny button to press under the rubber bung. I thought there was a detailed knowledgebase thread on this?

Naturally the most economical speed will be a dead flat road in top gear at 1000RPM. Equates to about 40MPH and ~50MPG. Of course very few motorways have no hills.

Thanks for that estocks, as there has always been rainx or something similar on all the glass on my car it's interesting to know how the water behaves without it.

MX5 has put on a lot of weight, turning it into a boulevard queen, like the latest Z4. They are both driven by and aimed at 40+ year women.
