    Suspension advice

    Ah thanks @Eddie Zedder that makes sense I think because I understand that all 3.0 have sports suspension regardless of whether it is a sport or not, at least this is what I have gleaned from reading various things on the t'internet although that is not conclusive just my understanding!

    Suspension advice

    Thanks @Bozzy although confusingly the information @Eddie Zedder found is conflicting! It does say 3.0 on the realoem site but basically if you search any parts supplier nothing for 3.0 is listed! This would make sense as I am now looking at your suspension box and it is not listed either. I'm...

    Suspension advice

    Chaps just reading this thread with interest. My 3.0 failed the MOT on the front right shock so taking the plunge and replacing all 4. I too don't want to go sports as I live in Shropshire and I like my teeth. I can't find OEM shocks listed anywhere for a 3.0. If I put my reg in they don't...

    Hi from Lucky DaveT.

    Welcome to the forums, me and a friend have spent the best part of the weekend sitting in my 2.8 with the hose on the roof looking for issues sometimes it's the best way! Narrowed it down to the seal over the passenger side window for me.

    Hello from Worcester

    :welcome: to the forums from Telford in Shropshire. I recently met up with Gary and realised we had run into each other at another random car event! Yes joining the fun will only enhance the ownership experience if you ask me. I don't get out on enough runs myself and you are quite local to me...

    Poorly Z

    Hi Theresa, that's terrible news about your Z you have my sympathy. As someone who has in the past thrown good money after bad I would suggest to you that you spend no money on it until you have a very complete run down of the costs. Then make the decision from there, if you can recoup some...

    TYRES (yes that old chestnut again)

    I would agree with this, I was pleasantly surprised by the Kuhmo's. Have a new set on my 2.8 and it drives better than my 3.0 on Conti Sports. Can't speak for wet weather grip though or longevity.

    Wanted Wanted

    Depending on what you want the car for and what you want to spend don't discount a higher mileage car. My 3.0 has done 124k and I've just had the ccv valve replaced and the cam cover gasket. The engine now is as smooth as any other and pulls like a train. Also I've yet to drive a Z3 at any...

    Two Z's... again!

    I finally sold my 1.9 about three weeks ago. Managed two whole weeks with just one Z and bought this as a little project! 2.8 on an R plate. Rough around the edges but a superb car underneath the paint swirls! PS anybody have a hellrot red boot lid?

    Wanted Boot lid for a pre facelift 2.8 in Hellrot Red.

    Looking for anyone breaking a hellrot red Z3, after a boot lid. Have picked up a 2.8 as a little project and it used to have a luggage rack on. But not an OEM one and the holes that are in the boot are pretty unsightly!
