  2. There are some wheel nut removal tools that should do the job https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/21pc-Tamper-Proof-BMW-Locking-Wheel-Nut-Screw-Lock-Socket-Key-Master-Tool-Set/332506448886?epid=7012375413&hash=item4d6aedc3f6:g:ZRAAAOSwmudaS7VX
  3. Haynes do a manual for the 3 series which covers the Z3 as most of the mechanicals are the same https://haynes.com/en-gb/bmw-3-series-1992-1998-haynes-repair-manual-usa
  4. Maybe easier to strip down and repaint yourself...going to do that on mine as it seems to be suffering from the same malady
  5. Worth checking the light clusters for corrosion...but as the indicators are working on the hazard switch then its doubtful that there is an issue with them as the hazards come from a different power source than the indicators....so yes you may be right with the footwell unit diagnosis
  6. Hi Mark....welcome to the Forum It sounds like one of two things....first one is that you have the wrong bulb(s) check that if the bulb holder has one or two contact points then the bulb should have the same amount also. Secondly, if the earth connections are poor then this could also produce the same effect....try running an additional earth wire to the side of the bulb and see it that cures it. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers . Trevor
  7. let us know how it all goes and would love to see a piccy of it
  8. If it works then its the cheapest route to go otherwise replacement is the only other option then
  9. Hi Adam....welcome to the Forum Fine looking car and practical as well...enjoy! Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor
  10. Top quality repair....shame it happened in the first place :-(
  11. Maybe worth flushing out the engine oil with something like Wynns or Forte to clear out any carbon deposits and see if that resolves it. Also, worth trying good quality fuel to see how that works.
  12. Hi Steve...welcome to the Forum The 635 is an awesome car and is generally quite reliable but a thorough inspection before buying backed up with a long warranty has to be the best way forward. I would recommend an independent inspection company like Dekra https://www.dekra-expert.co.uk/vehicle.inspections It also helps to get any defects rectified prior to purchase or price reduced to compensate. Let us know how you get on with the purchase Cheers, Trevor
  13. Hi Barry....welcome to the Forum That's a difficult one....first thoughts are non-factory conversion and Cat D as well....maybe worth holding out for the right one? Cheers, Trevor
  14. A good remap (for economy and driveability) shouldn't compromise the durability and reliability of the engine....different story for remaps solely for performance gains (e.g. stage 1, 2, etc)
