Would help if you explained which of the 3 generations of Zed you are referring too? :thumbsup:

Hello and welcome to the forum. Interesting first post, admittedly. Got any pics? :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

It will most likely be from the elbow on one of the hoses going into the ram. It needs the ram lifting out and the hose replacing.

Where are you based as there are several members here who can tackle that fairly easily.

Well after buying and replacing the full roof it was indeed just the hose
The replacement roof I bought had the same issue
So made one good roof out of the two
All working great now
Did all the work my self with a friend
And wants that hard really
Thanks for your replies
