Finally got one!!!!!!

Post by Liverpool26 » Tue Aug 08, 2017 7:26 pm

Hello all.......I am brand new to this forum and from what I've read everyone is really helpful.

I recently picked up a 53 plate plate 3.0l a week ago with only 84,000 on the clock and 2 owners, she requires a little bit of TLC but not bad for 14 years old. The one problem I have is that I have no power to either of the roof motors.....no lights at the switches at all.....does anyone have any ideas?

I've attached a few pics and will post more once she's been properly tidied up and some subtle mods carried out.

Thanks in advance. :D

Thanks for the instant response guys but I am located in Oxford.... :D

The main motor has already been moved to the boot but the buttons for the roof do nothing at all.

Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers markplant I will check the micro switch this weekend.......do the roof control modules fail.........if so is there a way of checking them?
