brilliant.

Mugs

thanks Del, i'll have a look this week.

Mugs

do they allow you to take photos in the museum?

Mugs

i must have a heavy right foot. i get 30 - 35mpg from my 1.9 Z3 and as i said, i only got 18 - 20mpg from a 325i.

Mugs

ok, thanks.

i have an OBD 11 reader but where do i plug into on the zed? is it the round plug where the service reset tool fits or elsewhere?

Mugs

i can't comment on the Z4 but i had a 2.5 (325i) and was getting 18-20mpg.

Mugs

is there enough meat on the hub spigots when using 5mm spacers ie. are they still hubcentric?

Mugs

the rear bushes should come off with a bearing puller. be careful with the Eurocarparts rear springs - i have a set and they sit too high ( i think due to the thicker wire) and i am having to replace them with genuine ones to get the ride height correct again. if you replace the springs and find one...

Mugs

thanks for the replies. she seems fine when cold - it seems to happen when she is warm and switched off for 1/2 hour or so. she never sounds like a steam engine either. i did an AutoSolo with her yesterday and it seemed that every half-hour when i restarted her, i had the lumpy tickover but after a ...

Mugs

i have a 1997 1.9 auto Z3 and i seem to be having a slight problem at tickover that someone may be able to help with. she runs fine but every now and again, when she is on tickover, she feels very lumpy, almost as if she's missing (judders and shakes but doesn't cut out). sometimes, after a god run,...

Mugs

this may sound stupid but.....how does the bonnet open? i can't see any seems, is it the whole front end that lifts?

Mugs

it looks fantastic!
would love to see it in the flesh.

Mugs

anyone?

Mugs

Tthis is a long shot i know but is there anyone who would be interested in swapping a black interior for beige? i have a 1997 1.9 in Atlanta blue with a beige leather interior in great condition (as per 007 Goldeneye style) but i am not keen on the beige and would like black. i am looking at cars be...

Mugs

i have spent some time sorting out the ride height difference between the ns / os and now that i have this sorted i am ready to swap the rear springs. i had put on some new springs from Eurocarparts but i think these are for an E36 as it looks way too high at the rear (although the fronts are OK). s...

Mugs

ok, that's not too bad then, i'll get the parts ordered. thanks for your help.

Mugs

i got my Z3 1.9 out of the garage on Friday and put it through the MOT which it passes 1st time so today i though i would wash it and get it ready for the road again. i have done a lot of service work over the winter but i hadn't changed the plugs so today after the wash i thought i would change the...

Mugs

you know, i was thinking the same thing after seeing flyeyes on someones lights 2 weeks ago. i thought of using the black kit so the amber blends with the black in the rest of the light. glad someone has thought of this too and has been brave enough to give it a go. let me know how it turns out when...

Mugs

thanks. it is as simple as measuring the difference, ordering the correct spring pad thickness and then just fitting it to the appropriate corner? or do I take the BMW measurement and order either + or - pads to get the correct height for each corner? it seems to me that the nearside is + 15mm from ...

Mugs

I took my z3 out of hibernation today so I could start work getting her ready for the road in April / may and when I looked at her parked outside I noticed that the ride height was different between the offside / nearside again. I replaced the shocks and springs back a few months ago and the ride he...

Mugs

I have an aftermarket laserline alarm on my Subaru and that gives 4 little beeps every few minutes if I have left a door, bonnet or boot open.

Will be traveling up on the Friday with the other half to make a weekend away, booked in a Travelodge in the area for two days.

Colb

ok, no worries, i'll see you there then.

I am also up for this.....car and planes.....heaven!

Colb, I'm only up the road from you so to speak, I could meet you en route and drive up together?

Mugs

Hi all,

I am after a decent alternator for a 1.9 if anyone has a good one for sale?

thanks

Mugs

that colour scheme looked pants on the fast and furious skyline but on an MX5

!!!

Mugs

i have recently put on the poly-bushes and it makes a huge difference. the steering feels tighter, more stable and any signs of tram-lining / following any grooves in the road are completely gone. i recommend them.

Mugs

I have some photos of a 1.9 with E36 M3 alloys on but I'm not sure (from looking at the photos) if they are staggered or if they have just used fronts all round?

Mugs

have you got the garmin file done yet?

Mugs

looks like a good route. I'm possibility up for it dependent on dates and a Garmin file would be great.
can you put me down and i will confirm when we have possible dates?

Mugs

nice pics and nice to see graffiti that is actually art and not just some squiggles sprayed by some illiterate twonk that can't even spell their own name.

Mugs

I have a feeling the 3 series compact uses the same part so you could try searching fleebay for one. (must be the compact though)

Mugs

ok, I tried a quote using my no claims and it came at approx. £150 but I need my NCD on my Impreza so the £211 wasn't so bad on a classic policy.

Mugs

is that as a classic car or using your no claims?

Mugs

thanks for the info guys, I called RH this morning and got a classic car policy sorted out for £211.90 (3k miles / year for my wife and myself to drive)........happy bunny!

Mugs

thanks guys, i'll try RH in the morning.

Hi all, I am after some advice on insuring my Z3.... when I bought it back in August I just swapped my insurance over from my second car (a focus that I was using for commuting to work) but it is running out in a couple of weeks. I have had a renewal notice through the post and they want £420 / year...

Mugs

I can't really help out with any of the problems but just wanted to say Hi from just down the road in Gloucester

Mugs

no, it's a hoax that has been going around since 2006.
the lift body aircraft have been tested by NASA but that's as far as it goes (for now)

Mugs

pm sent.

Mugs

good choice on the name David

Hyper black looks really good, you get the best of both worlds and it really suits red cars.

post up some pics when it's done.

As Robert said, read Mike Fishwick's article.
I just replaced the ones he talks about, the rear wishbone bushes (the ones in the removable round bracket).

Mugs

forest1 wrote:side note, anyone done a powerflex blush install on their Z3 ? mine suffers from tramlining pretty awfully.

yes, I have just done mine. easy to fit and makes a HUGE difference......no tramlining and the steering is a little bit heavier but is precise.

Mugs

haven't found any problems with mine, the pedal feels the same as any other car I have owned so it could be your cable that is at fault.

Mugs

yes, I understand what you are saying but if a lot of companies can build an aftermarket replacement or even a SS system for under £500 it makes you wonder what the dealer mark up is on a ms system?

Mugs

get a custom stainless steel one made. it will cost under 1/3 of that price and will never have to be replaced again....and you can specify tailpipes and loudness etc. there are lots of places doing them, I normally go to longlife, they make great systems. OEM is always the best IMHO Tim. agreed, b...

the white is different - i like it myself.

Mugs

have a go with white as you first suggested.
be daring and if you like it, do it.
if we all liked the same things then the world would be a boring place.

Mugs

Hi and welcome - what to do to it? well, firstly i would get rid of the dog exhaust pipe - they have too much of a bark to them

Mugs

belle........that has a certain RING to it
