    Z3 Water Retention

    AWesome thanks Faheem I thought it was just water accumulating after coming in through the tops of the windows (or the A-pillar). Tbh it does look like like that first vid, on my passenger side, when it rains. It's very probably that. I will check out your advice on the windows sitting right...

    Z3 Water Retention

    I was so pleased that I seemed to be able to dry out the sodden carpet in the passenger footwell (rhd car) just by leaving the roof open on a sunny day, like today. Until I went for a drive in it today and noticed a trickle of water oozing forward from under the seat. I only noticed it by...

    Well folks Thanks for your well wishes but it turns out I need a) two new tyres (no tread on the inside of the rear two); b) the handbake looking at (terrible efficiency I am told - this is frustrating as last year there was "not enough play" so the MOT guy slackened it a bit somehow) c) a new...

    Oof! Right will have a look at these and if I can afford them at the mo... probably not so are any of them essential to get car running again for the time being? Might just a new water pump fix the prob? Whole pump can move side to side at mo. Is it the drive shsaft that is supposed to hold...

    Hello...

    OK thanks for the advice! Is there somewhere I can find a diagram of the assembly so I know exactly what parts are what? Also I wonder why is it cock-eyed and how would I fix that? Not sure if I've lost a drive belt I don't know about because there are some wheels with nothing attached to them!

    Hello...

    Thanks all - what a welcome! I've looked around and not sure where to post q so I'll post here and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Main problem at the moment (apart from me being a layman) is that - the fan at the front of the engine has come off kilter, very slightly...

    Hello...

    Hi all, bought this z3 around a year and a half ago. Was my first ever opportunity to own a car like this and I felt my Dad would have loved it. It's a 2.0 6-cylinder; bit weather-worn and shall we say characterful but I love it and have loved driving it. Am not yet much of a mechanic so here...
