Please could anyone with a 1.9i M43 have a look to see if there's an EML light on their instruments when they next start their car, it would be a huge help to me. Thanks!

Hi, You can also find all parts with their part numbers at realoem.com by putting in the last seven digits of your car's VIN number. It's easy to find any part/nut/bolt on your car there.

Thanks for the info & ideas guys. I've decided to go for the clear lens ones. I think they just look more modern. When all the parts arrive I'll have a go at fitting them. :dunce:

No, they don't all have them as standard. Mine's a 51 plate too, but hasn't got them. So, you guys who have them fitted, are they ribbed or clear lenses as standard? Like I said earlier, I've seen both.

Front Fog Lights

Hi everyone, I have a 2001 Facelift 1.9i Z3 which doesn't have front fogs fitted, & I'd like to fit some. I've noticed that some Z3's have 'Ribbed' type lenses on the fogs, & some have clear lenses. What should they be if they had been fitted from new on my particular car? Also, has anyone b...

The coffin was being lowered at a Traffic Warden's funeral, when a voice from inside shouted "I'M NOT DEAD! I'M NOT DEAD!", to which The Vicar replied "Sorry, the paperwork's already been done!..." :)

Which Chrome Cleaner?

Hi everyone, My Z3 has got a chrome pack fitted, & I'm not sure what is best to clean it with. The windscreen surround has a few marks on it that look like hard water marks, but I'm not sure what to use on it, as I don't want to scratch it or ruin the surfaces. The marks don't come off with norm...

Fog Light Switch

Hi everyone, I bought my Z3 in October, so I'm quite new to all this. I was just wondering, is the Fog Light Switch supposed to be illuminated or not? I know that a light comes on on the Instrument panel when the fog light is actually on, but is the Switch itself meant to light up when the rest of t...

I bought a Ctek XS800 with a cigarette lighter adaptor from ebay for £39. It does the job very well without the need to hook up under the bonnet. I'd recommend it, if you're thinking of getting one.

Thanks for clarifying that. I haven't had a chance to investigate further yet, as car is garaged up & the snow has put me off playing about outside for now. Does anyone know if the lights are actually bulbs, or if they're LED's? Car seems to go okay, although it isn't fast, being a 1.9 (saying t...

EML light?

Hi people, I bought a 2001 1.9 Z3, Sterling Grey, a few weeks ago, & am pleased with it. I was having a look through the manual & noticed that it says I should have an EML light which comes on with the ignition, then goes out once the engine has started if all is well. I can't even see this ...
