Am on my 4th z4 and unfortunately my latest one has the dreaded roof motor issue, the microswitch is ok as the roof unlatches at the front when i press the button. The emergency release cable is stiff so no hope of manually overiding the system i would like recomendations around surrey and its environs for specialist.
Regards
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Bowser 134 is probably the nearest to you. He is in Hook, Hants.
Hope you get it sorted.

Bowser 134 is indeed your man. If you search "Bowser" on here you will find lots of happy Roadster owners with their rmotor moved to the boot or replaced and moved.

The plastic cog driven by the motor was missing it's metal brace and would most likely have been chewed up by the motor spindle. All fixed, hydraulic fluid topped up and motor relocated to the boot without taking off the roof. And all at 7:30 in the morning. Top man!!
