I have a number of issues with my e34 i'm starting to put back together after almost 2 years of her being in storage.

The driver seat will not Raise up like i use to like, when you put the knob in the up direction you see the seat wants to move but then nothing.
it still slides back and forth fine but just to raise it is impossible.
please please help!!....i have checked the fuses but i dont see anything blown in there.

secondly is my radio.....i cant get the code to work no matter what i try.
could i have the wrong code?

third is my hood latch is not catching no matter what i do. i kno i can adjust it but i still dont feel it pull back when i pull the lever from inside the car. so the hood is basically stuck open and wont latch shut but nothing looks broken.

the seats easy...pull the back off and replace the cable that turns to bring the seat up

as far as the radio goes...you must have the wrong code...get a CD player ;)

the hood latch?...was it in an accident? maybe the alignment is off...the wrong latch if it was replaced...the hook might be bent

DO SOME SEARCHES AS THERE MAY BE MORE INFO THAN I GAVE YOU TOO:D
