Hello,
I have a Z3 Roadster, 1994, Austrian-made, left hand drive. The poor thing has a few things wrong with the bodywork and I can't find a garage that will even talk to me about it.
I'm based in King's Langley, Hertfordshire, UK and I'm looking for any ideas of garages that might take the work I need done on. I'm not the sort of person who can do this stuff myself - it's just not in my skill-set. I wish it was ... truly.
To give you an idea of what is needed:
The passenger door handle is broken - not the door release latch, the grab handle for shutting the door. It needs gluing or replacing.
Both the seat belt guides on the sides of the seats are broken - again glue or replacement.
The rear view mirror has fallen off - I've been told that it comes with the windscreen and you can't get one without the other but that seems ridiculous!
You can't see out of the rear window, it's so scratched and worn. I don't know whether it can be replaced or cleaned or whether I'm going to need a whole new soft hood.
One of the side-lights (the ones under the bumper) is shattered - the glass/perspex is still there but broken with no lens effect any more.
Both doors stick - of you lift and sort of push first, they open but it's a struggle.
Then there are things like a slow oil leak and the fuel gauge is temperamental - sometimes it works, sometimes not ... I can't see a pattern yet.
So ... Does anyone have a recommendation for a garage anywhere near north of London / Hertfordshire / Bucks / Berks that might be able to help with all this ... or, at least talk to me without scoffing?
Thank you for reading this far.
