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!Joe4 wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2017 11:47 pm Thanks kis and paddy, yeh apart from the roof motor issue it's lovely, seems to have spent the majority of its life garaged and yep I'm glad I did the roof motor relocation earlier in the week otherwise I'd have been looking for a large umbrella to cover the car just need to get the motor/pump working properly now

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
