Re: Has my new car been clocked?

What was the MOT mileage for the previous few years?

Are there any other receipts with the vehicle mileage on? Service history etc

Re: Think I have just bought myself a 325 Sport .

Dash swaps are relatively simple, a few hours work. What i was saying is that i could do the swap for you once a sale was agreed, if that makes sense.

The tax always starts at the start of the month. So if you are half way through the month, you still have to pay for the full month (i.e. pay for the fist half of the month that has already passed), or wait until the start of the next month.

Re: Think I have just bought myself a 325 Sport .

Good luck with finding the right car. Do you have a link to the car you are referring to so people can advise.

I assume the tech 1 for sale on here is mine. If so, id be happy to find and swap in a crack free dash if you are interested. Let me know.

Re: Central locking

Bump, any ideas? It doesn't seem to me to be a wiring issue because it only happens immediately after locking. If it were a short or ground then wouldn't it happen at any time? Does that mean it's more likely to be the central locking control box in the drivers door pillar?

Sometimes when I look the car, using any of the looks, the car locks but the immediately unlocks itself again.

Z3 wiper arms

I'm trying to find a new right side wiper arm for a '01 Z3 3.0. On realoem, there only appears to be the left side arm. Is this because they are the same?
