Hi All,
I recently purchased a 2 litre 1999 Z3, with drivers door jammed locked and shut, the inner door panel is removed with visual access to lock mechanism, previous owner has had a go at it and butchered some of the plastic retaining clips.
The actuator works and when the button is pressed to unlock it opens and closes the actuator several times, before settling down.
I have purchase a working used door lock mechanism to help under stand the operation of it.I have lubricated and pulled relevant levers to no avail.
It appears the double lock action has seized on, and the lever which releases it does not retract fully.
Help!!!! any suggestions ,or is it a case of wrecking the door to gain access.?
