Roof Motor - HELP!!
So.....I managed to relocate the roof motor into the boot out of the reservoir of water trapped in the original location (cleared drain holes now!) However in the process, I've nipped a hydraulic hose about three inches from the motor. Along with that, the bowden cable was hashed, possibly from a previous owner attempt? And seems to be useless, luckily, the golden pin is out and it's not stuck in. The third and final issue, no matter what way around the cables are, there is no power going to the motor....basically, it's all hashed! The roof releases when I press the button and folds down with no effort at all, and I can pull back up by hand and the secondary motor locks it back in. But it sure would be nice to have a working motor for the summer! Please help! Where do I turn to?!

I have a couple of spares including hydraulic lines and should be able to sort this if you're happy to come to Bristol.
Please drop me a PM and we can discuss further if you wish ?
