On the BMW instructions for the hardtop fitting, it calls for a mounting gauge (part no 54 21 9 408 881). As these are no longer available, does anyone know their dimensions? It can obviously be fitted without using this but it would be good to know the correct fitting.

I will be there on Sunday

mwpe

I booked long ago and therefore received two tickets for the price of one however I am going alone. If anyone wants the spare ticket let me know soon and I can post it on.

mwpe

In case you still haven't found it

mwpe

I have always stuck with the original equipment Dunlops and found them excellent although others on here swear by Falkens. maybe it is not your tyres causing your problems.

A great day out, many thanks to Carol for all her hard work and everyone else involved. It was great fun trying to stay with the 2S54s and Z4 on the last leg. We must definitely do it again.

This is quite a common BMW problem and is usually fixed by applying a bit of power. It happens more frequently on my E30 although it has occurred on the Zed.
If you apply a bit of throttle it should free up

mwpe

It is very much a case of personal opinion, before I bought my Zed, I definitely didn't like the chrome ones but the car I found which was perfect in every other way had them. I soon got used to them and quite liked them but still was not sure so I bought another pair and painted them to match the c...

The edge of the fabric tends to come away from the rubber seal and just needs tucking back in. New windows come with a thin strip of double sided tape and you can cut a thin strip from a roll and use.

As far as the handbrake is concerned, the pads have nothing to do with the handbrake. The handbrake operates using small brake shoes which are inside the drum which is part of the rear discs. All BMWs use this system and it is quite good. To adjust you jack up the rear wheel, remove one wheel nut an...

This sounds good, count me in.
Black Z3 2001, maybe +1.

I am booked for the Saturday, has anyone booked the weather yet

mwpe

Sorry, it is the LH (nearside)

mwpe

RH side OEM foglight free to good home. I had a broken LH one and bought a replacement from e-bay but then had to get the RH to match, result one surplus OEM.

mwpe

You just hold firmly and pull.

mwpe

Mine hasn't gone on yet

mwpe

Here is a photo of my 3 litre taken a few minutes ago. It looks about the same (except for the tape)

mwpe

Well, the rain held off and we were made welcome at the classic car meet. A good morning

mwpe

See you there

mwpe

I don't think you will get one of those for that price that doesn't need welding. He would be better off with an older Zed.

mwpe

definitely worth a look, I have heard that they get some interesting cars there.

mwpe

Completely standard but I love the wheels on my Zed

mwpe

That brings back memories, I used to do that in a Triumph Spitfire

mwpe

I can use that, PM sent

mwpe

Just a suggestion, any others welcome. It is a good drive from Mytchet to Pirbright but not very long. The White Hart is good for food.

mwpe

The 9th or 16th are OK with me. There aren' may good roads around here but we could drive through the Pirbright bends to the White Hart.

mwpe

I have just been roped into a family gathering on the 2nd so I can' make that date

mwpe

Sounds like a good idea

mwpe

My 3.0 is Build date 08-20000 and it is a steptronic. I think all the three litre autos are

mwpe

I am glad I have not yet fitted the newly acquired hardtop, A day like today makes you appreciate the soft top. About 100 miles around the Surrey hills for a family visit, marvelous

mwpe

I signed this as soon as I saw it, it is a great event. I have only been once but thoroughly enjoyed it. Lets start a petition to ban the greens

mwpe

These comprehensive sets are all very good but do they have all the obscure fastener tools which BMW and others use now such as torx bits etc. you end up with a lot of tools you never use and short of some essentials.

[quote="Bananasport"]Hi Thanks for all the response and welcomes. Re Norfolk I live in Taverham Do we have any meets in the county? Re respray colour I think the yellow is still Dakar but is seems a little tender and is easily scratched I suppose the original factory finish is baked and ha...

mwpe

Thanks for the reply, I Can't see a lot on there but I have found some detailed instructions on ZRoadster.org.

All the best

Having purchased Damian's hardtop and fitting kit, I am having trouble working out how to fit the hardtop supports, there is not much access there.
Does anyone have any pictures of these in place.

mwpe

I recently had this problem and got one from Euro car parts. it seems OK.

mwpe

You have PM

mwpe

A very pleasant morning, I learnt a few things. We must try and get a few more and have a short cruise.

mwpe

10 is fine for me, time for a lay in

mwpe

Front wheel drive? Deisel? they are losing the plot

mwpe

They are easily available from main dealers and not too expensive. i have recently changed one.

mwpe

I have a 3 litre auto and am very happy with it. 3 modes, normal for pottering, sport if you want to be a bit lively and if you want to overtake, just slip it into manual, drop down and watch everyone disappear backwards. It is also very useful if you have a problem, soon after I bought it I had an ...

I am up for 22nd, the 15th is Goodwod. Can't miss that

mwpe

You have PM

mwpe

How about £50 including postage?

mwpe

Great day up until then though. Interesting journey home, I needed floats

mwpe

According to my handbook, the spare should be T115/90 R 16 92 M so it looks as though yours is an inch too small. It woud still get you out of trouble though in an emergency though. I have had at least two occasions when a can of goo would not help, once a metal bar penetrated the tyre and on anothe...

mwpe

A Blackbushe meet would be Good, there are quite a few owners around here

mwpe

Unfotunately I will not now be able to make it to Silverstone but I booked 2 tickets long ago. If anyone wants 2 free tickets, let me know and I will forward them when they arrive.

mwpe

Now sold to the first PM. Sorry I haven't answered you all
