At last a day off in the sunshine and get the roof down and in February AND in Scotland.

65mile drive from Edinburgh and back and wash and polish. Roll on more days like this.

By any chance did you go on the Biggar road?. Passed another Zed and the guy had a cap on.

Great city and rare to have good weather in Feb. The country roads are great but timed it wrong as got stuck behind a 'muck' spreader so the smell was very unique with the roof down!!

Quick question. Do you know anyone in Edinburgh or close that deals with the roof motor's?. i had mine relocated to the boot but still sluggish opening and needs a wee push to get it going. just dont fancy the drive back down South to get it fixed.

I'm afraid not sorry. When I had my Roady I took it down to Durham to a guy called Durham Dave. He's great. Does a sound job very quickly and he won't scam you or steal from you :)

It worked well for me though as my sister lives down that way. I searched high and low for someone in Scotland and turned up nothing sadly. That was a couple of years ago though so maybe it's different now

Best of luck

I have seen his name mentioned but cant seem to find anything on here. Durham is easy as it was St Helens last time...did give the car a good run mind you. Thanks anyway. Have a good weekend.
