As the title suggests, are there any roof motor movers in or near Cambridgeshire? :thumbsup:

Hi Rusky,

Don't think there is anyone local to us (I'm in Peterborough), but I want my motor re-located too, so how about we see if Mike (dukelakeview) will come over our way next time he does an installation tour.


Mike,

Are you up for a trip to the flatlands ?

Good call James. How many would you need to do Mike to make it worth your while? :D

No one going to Duxford Sunday who does this ?? Don't know how long it takes now and if it's possible to do at a show. Just a thought.

I'm in the Breckland area of Norfolk so just an hour east of Cambridge - could be quite a meet! :D

Just arranged a 2 night stay in the pool, to coincide having this done at Mike's place. Otherwise you could have added me too!

Didn't realise there were so many of us! It's worth attempting yourself first, it's a cack of a job but doable! :)

Why not see if Mike (duck lake view) would be interested, if enough people want it done an can all get to one place it might be worth Mike travelling

Hi All,

I've exchanged messages with Mike. If we can get 6 of us together, then Mike would come down for £200 over and above the £80 standard cost, so £113 each (£80 plus 1/6 of the £200 cost).

I'm no. 1 on the list, so who else wants in on the deal ? (First 5 only - place initially reserved for Rusky).

Thanks, James

Hi All, have replied to the pm. I'm up for another road trip with my new comfy seats!

Can easily do 8 in a day, which would reduce the cost further. Just fyi, I arrived at the figure of 200 based on a 400 mile, 8hr round trip, plus paying one of the girls to work a morning so I can leave early, there is no profit in that figure.

As I also said to James, for forum members, if your motor is dead I'll happily give it the "kiss of life" and get it working again, saving you the best part of £200 for a replacement, at no extra cost.

Mike
