New owner in Harrogate

Hi!
Based in Harrogate, North Yorks and Adalucia Spain,I am now the proud owner of a '99 2.8 Roadster in Titan Silver. Lots of work to get the old girl sorted, lots of clunks and a serious case of tram lining and shimmying!

Will be fitting new shocks, springs, and replacing all of the bushes, followed by new pads, discs and braided hoses with a fluid swap. Then it will be some nice new proper oil in the engine, box and diff.

Hopefully I will be able to call on some of you for pearls of wisdom?!

Hi RoadsterFan,

Small world-I live in Harrogate too and have had my 2000 2.8 in Steel Grey for almost five years. When I bought it, it had 65K (now 85K) and FSH but immediately I had to attend to all the things you propose doing to yours-and more since (copper brake pipes; ABS wheel sensor; calipers (lack of use?); etc.). There is an excellent Independent, Tony Swain at Intune, Camwal Road, Starbeck with BMW dealer level software who looks after the Z3 as well as my 5-Series.

PM me and perhaps we can compare notes.

Beemer Man.

Welcome to .net. You sound pretty clued up, but if you need any tech advice, just ask away! Any pics of your steed?

:cheers

Bonzo.
