Hello Im am finally restoring my z3. Hope you guys can help with any problems I may have with it.

First thing is the up down motor on the electric seats..... Can they be fixed or replaced???

Second thing where the fluff can I get one back light for a face life model z3? I have scoured the net but have had no luck, just the white and red ones.

hello & welcome to the forum John -

the electric seat is normally the switch not operating in all areas. if you can hear it work in the up/down direction but the seat don't move then its your seat mechanism where it connects to the seat motor.

not sure about your back light, a difficult part to get 2nd hand but will look out for you from my neck of woods'

Cheers, that would be great. I have looked everywhere for one. The switch does the back and forward motion but the updown motion just makes a clunk noise like its stuck. I'll take it apart I think and see what's going on!

if its making a clunk I would assume the switch is operating in the correct manner. the problem lies in the seat mechanism & motor.

open & have a look, you never know, a pence coin somehow could be stuck in there :wacko:
