That's looking good Billz. I'm a lorry driver and cross a 616 and 628 most weeks. Cracking roads for a cruise. Be some nice villages I'm sure for a pub stop off and a bite to eat. Keep me informed, hopefully getting my Zed back by the end of the week so got time to do a few minor bits I want to get ...

Davejue1

Super job, look forward to it!

Davejue1

It all sounds like good news then! I'm on here a lot so I'll keep a close eye on things in the new year then. I was looking to tax my Zed from the beginning of march. Does this sit about right with events firing up??
Thanks for the replies.
Dave

Davejue1

That be cool Bertie, you could have a ball on the way down via woodhead or the snake pass?? There both cracking roads arn't they. Let's see if Anyone on here comes up with a plan.

Davejue1

Now your asking! Soon as I get my car back I'll let you know. Hopefully have it back next week.

Davejue1

Hello mate. Obviously its not been on the car yet but more than happy thanks.

Davejue1

Hi all, not buying my Zed until July and not finding the forum until September I have yet to join up for meet and cruise. I live at Mansfield so being very close to Derbyshire and the Peak District was wondering if this was an area where a cruise has been held in the past? Theres some fantastic road...

Davejue1

Hi Stupot, hi have a strut brace and full chassis brace on mine. I'm not the quickest of drivers to be fair but it really does go round corners like its on rails. I've never owned a car with braces on before but the handling difference is obvious. I used to run several mark 1 and 2 golf gti's and th...

There are already several counties that have dropped some form of tax disc/sticker in recent years in favour of an electronic system. Anything to save a penny tho eh? It'll cost us more in the long run garanteed!

Davejue1

And it's a big welcome from me too!

Davejue1

Thanks guys. It was heavily stone chipped on the bonnet and bumper, that was one of the reasons in the descision to get it painted. It had also had some not so good paint on the rear quarter although the bodyshop said there's no evidence of damage. I'll post a pic when I eventually get it back!

Davejue1

Ok Brian thanks. I'll have a look tomorrow and see if I can sort it out.

Davejue1

Mines in a similar state at the minute. No lights bumpers etc. I'd post photos on but can't work out how to do it. I put them on photo bucket but can't work out what to do next. I've read the thread but I'm just not grasping it. I only have a tablet/phone,is that why I can't post pics??

Davejue1

Hi Brian, that looks really well. Is it all original or have you had paint over the years? The engine bay looks fantastic! I looked for a copy on Saturday in asda but there on Jan 13 copy now.
Regards
Dave

Davejue1

Hi, I've just been to the bodyshop to see how my zed is getting on. Gutted to find after 8 weeks the car has been stripped down but they only got as far as prepping the bonnet.I was trying to put a picture on to show folks but I'm useless with computers. I have put them on photo bucket but can't see...

Davejue1

Thanks for your reply
Cheers
Dave

Davejue1

Oops! Just the one! One is more than enough tar!

Davejue1

Wonder what the wives buying me this Christmas lol!! Thanks stupot.

Davejue1

Hi, my Zed's being painted at present and the bodyshop have just rang to say that it needs two front wheel arch liners and the passenger door mirror is bodged inside being held together by a jubilee clip. Just what you need when your at the top of your budget and Christmas is just around the corner!...

Davejue1

Hi, I'm after the two front wheel arch liners and the passenger mirror if poss?
Thanks
Dave

Davejue1

Hi. And welcome! Fantastic car the Zed. You'll get all the help and info off here. I've only been on the forum since September and everyone is very helpful and friendly.
Enjoy!
Regards
Dave

Davejue1

Be a good starter car for someone at that money.

Davejue1

Maybe we could combine the forum??? Zeddog.net!!

Davejue1

Hello! Best move you'll ever make. I don't know if its your everyday car but each time I get in mine and drop the roof I get a genuine buzz. I love my Zed and wished I bought one years ago. It only does 1500-2000 miles a year so I suppose the fact I don't use it that much keeps the feeling fresh. It...

Davejue1

On my travels today I spotted.....R7 TTL Silver Z3 roadster and 2 TRX a blue M Roadster coupe.

Davejue1

CAZ 1403 silver Z3 roadster spotted on A46 near Notts at 3.00pm today. Is this you???

Davejue1

I doubt you can but I need to take the door card off anyway to adjust the window as I'm getting a small amount of water coming in at the top and I also need to grease the window regulator as it's very very slow, so can do it all at the same time. If it turns out not to be the solenoid that way I've ...

Davejue1

Thanks t-tony, I'll check that first as it would seem the easier option.
Fingers crossed!!
Cheers
Dave

Davejue1

Thanks very much, I'll give it a whirl
Cheers

Hi, I have an original BMW alarm fitted with the remote central locking fob. It opens and locks the passenger door and boot but not the drivers door. Is there a common fault or could I be opening a big can of worms?
Any advice greatfully received.
Thanks
Dave

Davejue1

Hi and welcome, I recently joined the forum after buying my first Zed. Everyone is very friendly and always happy to answer your stupid questions! Maybe see you at some meets next year. Enjoy!

Davejue1

Wow! What a saga. Just sat and read this with the wife! Congratulations on the birth of your son, but my advice would be to sell your son and keep your car! Or better still keep both

Davejue1

Hi, thanks for your reply. I can't remember what it shows but it's not PPP. My car isn't here at the minute so can't check to see whats on the screen. I'll check when I get it back. A friend of my is good friends with the owners of a bmw breakers in Sheffield so may be able to slice a bit off your s...

Davejue1

How handy is that!
Thanks very much.

Davejue1

Hi, I have an on board computer on my Zed but it doesn't appear to be working. I press the button on the end of the stalk and nothing happens. Any advice would be most welcome. Also is it possible to change the trim in the boot so I can loose the multi CD housing, This takes up a lot of room in a ve...

Davejue1

I know this is a bit off the subject of Z3's but what sort of gun dog have you have? I have a working Cocker and he's the best dog I've ever had! He doesn't work but he's a fantastic mut! He'd look great strapped in the passenger seat of my Z3 with his huge ears flapping in the wind!

Davejue1

Hi, I've swapped the tonneau cover with a tan one now so my black one is no longer available.
Thanks
Dave

Davejue1

Hi, the tonneau cover is back on sale or swap as I haven't heard back from the guy that was interested. Ideally would prefer to swap for a tan one or sell for £60 inc postage.
Thanks
Dave

Davejue1

Yes mate.

Davejue1

Brilliant! Yep that would be great. Send me a personal message and we can organise things from there. What a fantastic forum this is lol!!
Thanks
Dave

Davejue1

Oh no mate that's rubbish! I'd be in tears! I suppose if its a mate doing mates rates you'll have to persevere. That's the problem I have, he's not a mate as such but an ex work associate so I suppose I need a little more patience!

Davejue1

Hi, I have a black tonneau cover in excellent condition which ideally I'd like to swap for a tan/cream one or sell it for £60 including postage to any uk mainland address. A swap would be the ideal solution for me if possible to save having to hunt another one down.
Thanks
Dave

Davejue1

Hi bonzo. Indeed it does! I to love the colour combo so when we, (me and the good lady) were looking we agreed it had to be that colour combo with the 2.8 lump. As you'll have seen from my first post my cars in the body shop having a total strip down respray, I was told two weeks, were now at the en...

Davejue1

Hi and thanks for the replies. Your quite right Southernboy that it's to preserve the new paint. It's taken a lot of hard work and saving to get to this point and I don't want the dreaded stone chip to wreak it before I've started. I think I'm going to go with the clear wrap and extend it like you a...

Davejue1

Hi, firstly may I say hello! I'm new to the forum as I have recently purchased my first Z3. It's a 98 2.8 in Montreal Blue. It has a couple of light mods but being 41 feel I'm a little past dropping it 60mm!! I'll put a photo on when I get it back, it is currently having a full strip down respray. I...

Davejue1

Hi, I to am new to all this. I recently bought a 98 Z3 2.8 as a hobby so had to set up a new policy altogether. I live in the midlands and am paying £240 on a classic policy which I got from confused.com/classic. Good luck!
