Thanks Southernboy. I will be on it today. Just one more thing if anyone knows please. I have looked in the manul but cannot find a central jacking point. Only aware of the two on the sides just before the rear wheels.

johnz3

Not used the car for a week. Started her up, fine. Tried to reverse out of the garage and thought the hand brake was still on. Car would not move. Tracked it to the passenger rear wheel and when you try to push by hand the car just rocks and you can hear a, for want of a . better word knocking noise...

johnz3

Thanks Vic. Lots to try this weekend. There is a Hobby craft shop near me so will try them.

johnz3

Thanks BladeRunner. I will have a try if black nail varnish does not work. I will be trying first on another car to see how things go.

johnz3

Never tried it. Soon as I saw what I had done I ripped it out. Re the problem, on closer examination I have scratched the glass so I need to try to 'fill' the gap with a black substance. Next to try is black nail varnish. Hopefully the brush will allow me to fill the gaps.

johnz3

Have to be the weekendnow but will try. Really p!##÷d off.

johnz3

Thanks guys. Tried the black marker and no joy. If you apply to the front of the screen as a test - fine although turns a bit brown. When applied to the scratches from the inside of the car to the inside of the screen -no joy. Just wont seem to bond.

johnz3

I was trying to find out where a noise which seemed to be coming from the passenger side of the screen. Read on here that one way to test was to remove the internal, I think A panel which exposes the wires to the rear of the car and where the screen meets the body. The advice was to tape along the j...

Hi Vic-z3.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem please.

Thanks

johnz3

Picking up on Southernboys idea about the spare storage space behind the seats I pulled forward the drivers seats and there are two blanking discs in the back of the seat. Before I prise one off, anyone any idea what they sre for. I am thinking that if they are a couple of screws underneath they cou...

johnz3

Interesting to see the wing mirror retracted.

johnz3

Cheers and thanks.

Due to get one later this week so will let people know how I get on.

johnz3

Bit confused. How would I remove the holder and bulb then please.

johnz3

Just seen it. Thanks

johnz3

I have seen many posts re cleaning etc but wonderd if anyone had had the rear screen professionally cleaned and scratches removed. I ask this because many of the posts seem to have a hit or miss result re a complete clean and scratch removal and it might be worth paying someone.

Thanks

johnz3

Ok and thanks. I will have a better look to see if there the holder can be detached

johnz3

Just to let people know that I had a very similar noise and adjusting the two nuts under the handbreak worked a treat. Noise all gone

johnz3

I know that I have seen a post on this but cannot find it so some advice please. The bulb in the above did not work and in trying to get it out, iit broke and the bulbs casing is stuck in the unit. I can snip the two wires and look to carefully 'dig' the bulb out and if needed and I can then buy a n...

johnz3

Cheers. Just seemed a bit fast

johnz3

ok and thanks.

johnz3

In neutral sitting at the lights with the engine warm my 3.0i sport ticks over at 750 revs. Listening to the engine this seems rather fast. Does this seem about the mark. Thanks.

johnz3

No probs. Looking back on it some of my posts are a bit 'lazy' although I do try to search before I pose the question.

Expect 'less' but 'more' from me in the future.

johnz3

I guess I am a slow learner.

But don't worry, you will be hearing less from me in the future after your reply.

johnz3

Ok and thanks.

Will look tonight.

johnz3

Thanks Mugs. I just dont seem to have the lever that there is normally on cars.

johnz3

Not able to access my handbook at the moment and trying to see if the back of the seat can be adjusted. As far as I can see the seat only goes up and down and forward and reverse. Thanks.

johnz3

Just looked gookah and you were correct.

Thanks

johnz3

Ok and will gave a look tomorrow.

johnz3

Thanks guys

johnz3

The wheels are the same with the exception of the studs. The front depth from the edge of the wheel depression to the bolt is approx 15 millimetres at thefront and 25 millimetres at the rear. Whilst my measurements might not be exaxt tyere is definatly a clear difference.

johnz3

I will go and check shortly. The wheels are I think the same without the studs. I will also check the depth for sure. Cheers for this.

johnz3

Sorry to answer in this way but if you open up pistonheads z3 for sale the 4th one down is a 3.0i sport which is silver with a red roof. Same as those which I believe are standard.

johnz3

Could be but I think the car is totally standard.

Anyone else with a 3.0i Sport that could check please.

In short if you were cleaning the inside of the wheelnut housing and touch the wheelnut there would be a noticable difference in depth to reach the rear wheelnut.

Thanks

johnz3

The bolts are the same size for both front and rear if that helps.

johnz3

I was cleaning my wheels and I noticed that the nuts on the front are not set back as deep as on the rears.

The car is a 3.0i sport 2002.

Any ideas?

johnz3

Are the air ducts immediately before the rear wheels available please. If so what condition.

johnz3

Thought so. Thanks

johnz3

On Pistonheads there is the following at £4750. It is the silver one with the red roof. Just listed. In the narrative it mentions an Adjustable Steering Column. I have a 2002 3.0i Sport. I cannot see where I have one. Is it a mistake in the advert? BMW Z SERIES Z3 3.0 SPORT ROADSTER 2002 (2002) For ...

johnz3

Like the soft top colour

johnz3

Thats great. Thanks.

johnz3

Thought I saw a post about this but cannot find it now. On my 3.0i Sport just in front of the rear wheels there are two plastic nibs. One is broken and I think the other is ok. They appear to be bolted into the floor. Thanks.

johnz3

Thanks DavidZ3.

You sou can remove the mirror glass and start from there instead of twisting the mirror to expose the allen keys. I have looked at various knowledge section but cannot see how to do this. Am I missing something here?

johnz3

Did the radio get sold please

johnz3

Business BMW Radio/CD?

johnz3
