    Bonnet release lever

    No need to buy new catches unless you want shiny new stuff. The old ones can be easily fixed - grind off the head of the rivet and the steel closing plate comes off and the inner plastic cover. Remove the spring inside (not under much tension), thoroughly clean it all up and reassemble with...

    For anyone with Autogearbox rough changes & loss of cruise control

    Febi MAF's seem to be Bosch or Siemens with the part numbers and logos ground off. Talking of gearbox issues: I had a 1997 single Vanos E39 528i auto that would not change up into 4th or 5th unless you did it manually on the gearlever - occasionally on ultra light throttle it would go into 4th...

    For Sale Looking for a Z3 normal differential, NON LSD

    Thing is, the LSD in the 2.2, 2.8 and 3.0 is the type 188 and all non LSD units are the smaller Type 168. That means the driveshafts and propshaft are the wrong length. You're better off buying a good used LSD for 800 quid or whatever.

Hold the hose up and add coolant until it flows from the heater. Quickly refit the hose, start the engine and run it at 3000 rpm with...

    Replacing track rod ends - special tool required?

    Stillsons are the perfect tool. Fit new lock washers if fitted and threadlock the new track rod. I always replace the entire track rod, mainly because the track rod end is invariably rusted solid onto the track rod.

    A rare Z in work today.

    Those 300ZX's were/are excellent. The Mitsubishi 3000GT was a proper weapon as well. A nice example of either is a rare thing now.
