Cab electric roof motor and arm assembly part numbers..?

[hipflyguy]

Hi all...

Newbie to this forum, and cheeky to ask straight away, but I'm gonna..

I have a 93 plate E30 cab, but sods law the roof linkage that pulls the rear window up has gone pop, right before I was gonna sell up.....

The rest of the assembly was fine, but just had garage identify the problem, but in doing so the roof won't fold back at all now, must be disconnected, at least before I could manually lift window and let electrics do the rest...

I was wondering if anyone here could get me part numbers for the bits broken, (If anyone knows their bits uber well) and/or could point me to a good parts shop... German and Sweedish...? (local to me in Pompey)

required:
Motor/Pivot assembly (pulls rear window up) - estimated at £366
Falcrum Pin/Arm - estimated at £46.51
Arm Assembly - estimated at £59.15

Thanks to anyone who could help...

Thanks Dave, that's exactly what I was after.....!!

Think the garage I've been to is trying it on as only one part was broken when I gave it to them, now a list of 4 parts to replace... Fishy...

And I don't want to sell her, 84k mint, she's loadsa fun, but starting to cost to maintain...

[DaveD]

usually if the motor breaks(a very common fault) the arms go too as it is usually caused by too much stress on those parts that have bent so it sounds about right....

if jason has the parts it would be relatively cheap,,,

you have to admit that if you cure the problems it would be worth it...anyway it could be a case of the devil you know

Thanks for you help so far Dave...

On a similar fixer upper note...

My central locking works fine, but I can only lock all doors from the Boot, or passenger side, Drivers lock doesn't move the locking pin down enough to lock it... Unlocking is fine tho...

Any chance I could just swap the passenger lock for the drivers and hey presto job fixed..?

Is this a regular prob..? (Door card is slightly warped and could be causing the prob) but i've been in and lubed up... Ooer..

Shall I bung this in another thread?

[DaveD]

Thanks, I'll pop the roof off tonight and try and work it out.

[hipflyguy]

Right....

Just been in and manually popped the roof since garage had it to pieces... And I am f ing p ssed beyond belief... I thought maybe they had just disconnedted the gear, but it's been completely removed, including motor, bolts and levers...!! Probably in the bottom of a bin somewhere.... Not even a chance of having it refurbed... Guess what I'm going to be doing first thing in the morning...!!!

So.... Calming down...

Looks like I need:

#24 - Possibly need the this too, since I can't find it in the back either...!! but may be hidden

Taken from the site in response above:



And this is physical proof of what I'm left with... My god I'm angry....



Thanks for your help quaser and co.

[DaveD]

you need the motor back they can be repaired!!!!!...are the two arms you still have bent...the are 2&3...they can be so you need to check

[hipflyguy]

I had a good look, they are pretty sturdy, no abnormal bends in them..

And am onto the garage now....

[hipflyguy]

I take it all back about the garage who investigated the work, found all the kit tucked away in the boot....

Have made a call for help for the parts I need on here:
