Motor for the roof? There's hydraulic fluid that operates it (much like brake fluid for our brakes). Might need topping up? Have a look into it, never been a problem so never looked into it myself... but I know about it (of sorts)! Hope that helps you out!

Oh wait? Your roof motor doesn't work at all? Is that what you mean? Diesel bath I've heard helps revive motors...

Thanks blackabbot!

Kis - Yeh I think I've narrowed it down with the help of the forum to a problem with the ports on one side of the hydraulic pump, but I did check fluid levels and did the diesel bath which helped to free up the motor somewhat
