My other car is a Smart Roadster with the same Mercedes bio-degradable wiring loom from the early 2000’s. Rotten wiring is becoming a problem for those as well. It seems to be particularly the brown ground wires that are failing first. If you rub the insulation between your fingers it crumbles...

Welcome from another 2000 2.8 Facelift owner in Bristol.

Chrome vents on Titan Silver with chrome door handle covers and Z8 chrome washer jets.

Oh dear, it’s definitely one of those days.

🤣🤣 Good for sending up chimneys as well. Don’t you just love auto correct.

Mine was the same when I bought my car. The inner cable was stuck and the was just bending not moving in and out to move the flap. You can get to it if you remove the radio and see it with a torch and small mirror. I used some penetrating oil, pushed it back in and operated the switch a few...

This is who I used for mine. If you have cruise control it might work differently (mine does). I now need to move the stalk up or down to activate it before I can set the speed, moving the stalk up or down again de-activates it. Also I put a bulb in the instrument cluster and have a working...

A couple of weeks ago I was fixing the shrunken leather on the dash, had the instrument cluster removed and noticed that some bulbs were missing. Put a bulb in the cruise control warning light to see if it would work (2.8 Facelift Z3 M52/TU with retrofitted cruise control). As I have...

First time attending today (bought car January). Well organised, great location and met some really friendly people both today and at the Link Hotel last night. Will definitely go again. Darren

Just arrived +1 Z3.

M54 3.0 manifold swap (on 2.8), rebuilt DISA, new vac lines, PCV and re-mapped ECU. Goodridge brake hoses and one hardline because I couldn’t split a joint on one of the rear center hoses. Brake fluid flush.

They flashed and waved first. 👍

A/C service and re-gas today. They took out 200g and put back the required 900g. It passed the pressure test and no idea when it was last done. Told to bring it back in two weeks and they will check for leaks.
