Rather annoying problem with the drivers seat....

Every time i break the seat slides forward a bit and the seatbelt goes nice and tight around my neck!

Ive had a mes around had the seat out and back in and everything is tight but it still does it! Any suggestions?

there is a common problem on the z3 that allows the seat to move - there is a repair kit available mostly from the states

Or put your seat hard against the rear bulkhead to it is already pushed forwards.

Depends how long your legs are

Thanks i'll get some ordered. Just finishing a few last bits and bobs and put it up for sale

Back home now for a few weeks and while i was away the parts came to fix the seat. Sorted that no bother only took about an hour.

Got another thing niggling me now, the fuel cap.
It used to shut perfectly square with the body work and now it seems to sit in a couple of mm which has chipped the paint slightly!...

It does look like it sits right from a distance though...

Im going to have to glue somthing to stop it going further onthe under side. Is there anything other than sticka flex that i can use? Its about €20 a tube here and i dont wana just use it for this little bit then the next time i come to use the tube has gone off!

Think she needs a wash aswell, been left to sit in the sun for weeks!....

Nice touches Danny, did you use the same company as you did for your MX250?

Danny_HUFC · #**151** 18th November 2015, 16:54

No i used somone here in spain and the graphics companies over here are a bit behind on the times! The centercap decals are 'ok' but they would have been a hell of a lot better if i used my pal in Hartlepool.

Hi, did you paint the rims around your rear lights black or purchased them that way?

Danny_HUFC · #**153** 19th November 2015, 18:54

They were chrome and had them painted

Danny_HUFC · #**154** 24th November 2015, 18:20

Gave her a bath today, took some pics so I can put it up for sale....

Roadster · #**155** 25th November 2015, 07:57

Looks great Danny - good luck with the sale.
Whats your plans for your next project?

Danny_HUFC · #**156** 25th November 2015, 14:28

The next project is actually my current projects!

I currently have a building site in Spain that my wife calles a villa, shes hoping to be moved in by the summer (thats summer 2016).

Also at the tribute dream factory is my G wagon/ML that needs some modification, a spray job and an interior trim.

And also at the tribute dream factory belonging to me is another kobra kit that currently fits a z3. Once the price drops even more in jan/feb for the Z4s then there will be a 1 delivered to the dream factory and the kobra z3 kit will then fit a z4......

zagmad · #**157** 26th November 2015, 15:12

I do like that grey.

Danny_HUFC · #**158** 28th November 2015, 13:24

If anyone is interested, my door handles where blended in then i found that no solenoid was man enough to pop the doors open via remote! So now when I unlock the car, the window drops to open the door from the inside.

Not sure if this video link will work....

WorldClassAccident · #**159** 28th November 2015, 14:37

Neat trick.

I planned to lose the door handles but couldn't find a kit man enough to unlock the doors either.

Not sure dropping the window would work for me in the uk especially in the weather we are having at the moment.

Danny_HUFC · #**160** 28th November 2015, 17:04

I tried a 'kit' off ebay and then tried ford transit van central locking solenoids linked to garage door opener remotes. They worked fine 4 times then blew the remote kit. After messing about for far too long with it, i decided to make the unlock button drop the window. After blowing up 2 'magic boxes' (they behind the glove box on the z3) I decided to ring an auto electrician over here. He was there 1 hour and charged me €30 for the hour and €20 for the part! Happy with that! Ive now extended everything into the boot incase it fails. The boots opened by a 'normal' handle
