Z3 Issues

[TvR Driver]

Hi new to the bmw forum

Have bought the wife a z3 ( what a nice chap you think - really it means the tvr can be rebuilt without nagging ! and well actually i bought it to go to lemans as the tvr was missing its engine but now its been inherited by the missus !! )

Its a 2.2 z3 2002 reg in blue with loads of chrome and m on the steering wheel and gear knob that light up - whoohoo - good thick service history file - last one 6000 miles ago and all bmw servicing

Very nice car but has a few issues and wonder if anyone has fixed / played with them before and can offer ideas / solutions ?

The drivers seat only moves forward on one side so assume a wiring problem or maybe a broken rail or something ?

I need a new rear roof as this has a small split in it and it looks like it has a zip around the edge ?? can it just be replaced as per ebay listings or is it harder than appears ?

The bloomin door closing handle has come away from the door panel - arrghhh this means its hard to close the door and is the most frustrating item - cant see how it clips back so assume maybe something snapped ?? is it replaceable ??

Some of the things may sounds a little simple but just after thoughts and would prefer to tacke myself before sending off for its service and mot next month

Thanks

Ty

I did the back window on mine a few months back. It looks easier than it is. It doesn't take any great skill. Just 4 hands and a lot of patience.

The drivers seat is likely to have gone dry on the screw that works the thing back & forth. The commonest fault is they stop going up & down. Four bolts & out - remember to switch off the ignition or you'll get an airbag fault light when you un hook the connections.

The door handle not so sure of, but I can say if you remove the door card, be sure to take care not to break the pastic push fit clips, they are flimsy to say the least.
