    FS: Used 3.0 E85 Rear Springs

    For sale are a pair of Anschler rear springs (form Euro Car Parts, I believe), removed from my 3.0 E85 in order to fit BC springs and dampers. Pretty good condition, no sign of mechanical fatigue/stress; some surface rust and paint peeling. £30 posted (for the pair) to UK mainland.

    Time between alignments

    Every year. Wherever you go, watch them like a hawk. The vast majority will print the settings before tightening the bolts, which is bad practice as they will inevitably throw the alignment out in the process. You may think that they can't possibly move it that much, but I have seen nearly have...

    anti roll bar question

    Thicker ARBs often improve the 'feel', but make your suspension less independent - not good from a performance perspective, although I do see the appeal. If you have adjustable dampers, a thicker ARB will allow you to soften up the shocks a touch too.

    Headlight Washers Popping but not Squirting - E85

    Right...so having chopped out the kinked part of the pipe, and fitted a hose connector, the problem still remains - the jets don't pop out of the bumper enough to spray the headlights. I refitted the old pump today, and voila - all singing, all dancing - the replacement pump was faulty, which...

    Steering wheel wobble above 60. Struggling to find a fault.

    Check your RTABs - I'm almost certain they were causing the majority of my front end instability. It's worth noting that the Z4 steers from the rear too, so there's some logic to this potential prognosis.

    Headlight Washers Popping but not Squirting - E85

    Thanks again chaps :) Following further investigation this evening, I believe the pipe is still kinked where the mole grips were clamping it, resulting in reduced flow. I was able to grab the OS jet and pull it further out than it protrudes under pump pressure; the jets are clear too. A small...

    Headlight Washers Popping but not Squirting - E85

    Thank you for your replies :) I'm not certain, yet, that all is well - but at least I do know, courtesy of the diagram, that there is only one supply to each jet :thumbsup: The jets appear to be clear, so why water isn't spraying out, but the jets rise from the bumper, I simply do not...

    Headlight Washers Popping but not Squirting - E85

    Evening folks. My MOT is due soon, and I had realised that I hadn't seen my headlight washers operating, or even rising from inside the bumper, so I set about investigating why last week. I know they are required to be functional for the MOT, where fitted, before anyone says they aren't needed...

    Drop links

    I found the rears are an absolute tw@t to fit - even with fairy, they wouldn't slide onto the ARB. I had to remove the ARB and compress them on in a vice.
