A few of us do it, I'm down south near Camberley so your best bet is Mike (ducklakeview) who's in Liverpool.

Well had the roof motor replaced by a independent in Louth and would recommend anytime and at a very reasonable price as well

I'm in Hertfordshire so I think Bowser is probably the closest.

I'm in the middle of doing the relocation myself but I can't get the lower half of the casing out?

I've managed to get the top off and the motor out, but I cant seem to release the lower half.

Any pointers?

Failing that I'm not too far from Camberley, how much do you charge Bowser?

The lower half of the casing is cable-tied and also slot mounted to the strut. Its possible to snip it blind and force it but I wouldnt fancy it as the lines are too close. ( some people do though). Personally, I lift the roof and strut out so that I can see what I'm doing and cutting

Sorry for the hijack but instead of a new post from me, who would be the closest member to the Midlands who offers the replacement service?

Thanks :)

Depending where in the midlands Mike aka Ducklakeview may be the closest.
