    It is with huge sorrow.....

    Haven't been on the Forum for a day or so, I read this when out at the pub tonight, had to do a double take, couldn't believe what I was reading. Never met Tony in person, but were were both of a similar age and outlook, often commenting on each others posts. Sincere condolences to Shirl and...

    Ways to improve stock E36 wheel in my Z3?

    Hi Mike, Couple of observations on your comments above. I was quite happy with the OEM steering wheel size it suited me fine, clear vision of gauges etc, what I couldn't get away with was the thin wheel rim thickness. After driving a E46 M3 for nearly 4 years with it's lovely thick rimmed...

    Ways to improve stock E36 wheel in my Z3?

    I'm sure if look up steering wheel refurbing/retrimming specialists in your area there will someone who could remodel your present wheel.

    Mohair hood cleaning

    The latest Car SOS have a MX5 as the subject and revived a soft top that was really grotty, it looked great when finished. They didn’t use a pressure washer at all, but used fairly ordinary products and elbow grease. Worth looking on catch up to see how they did it. Good luck.

    F1 Eddie Jordan.

    Really sad, you had to admire him for what he achieved with such a limited budget with the Jordan team compared to the big teams. When Damon Hill signed for Jordan we went down to Silverstone when Team Jordan had an open day. Everyone was so welcoming and were more than happy to explain things...

    Wipers question

    I've used them on my Z3 M Coupe since 2013 (on at least my second set maybe third) plus fitted them to my wife's VW Golf and never had a problem with squeaking on either car. No special cleaning, just use Meguiars shampoo and an occasional application of Rain-x plus Prestone screen wash...

    Wipers question

    Just for completeness, just checked my car and it has 20" Aero wiper blades. However if you go on eBay (I purchased them from there a while back) and put my car reg in you get suggested both 19" and 20" sizes for the front windscreen. To my mind these Aero Blades and the steering wheel refurb...

    Wipers question

    Although it’s no help to the problem of the original poster, I’ve always used on my ZCoupe the Bosch Aero Wiper Blades and had excellent results with them. Haven’t got access to my car at the moment but just gone on Halfords site and they say 19” wiper blades for my car. I’ll check when l get...

    Happy birthday Mazza

    Happy Birthday, hope it hasn't been too bad a day for you after the cataract operation. All for the better, I had Pterygium surgery a couple years back which was very successful. Very strange sensation whilst it was going on as I was aware of everything that was happening, :thumbsup: :drinks:🎂

    Wanted BMW Car magazine - June 2013

    Been looking on eBay for over 12 months now trying to pick up this one magazine which somehow went missing (probably left on a aeroplane when I was flying back and forth to Nigerian way back when). I’m currently completing putting the mags in binders and this one is the only one I’m missing...
