Roof failure

And there is somewhere a video of a Ferrari with what looks like the same roof system as the Zed.
Now realise these folding roofs with hydraulic systems are fairly common, so why such high prices for spares.

You are one sad bunny! :rofl:

Either you wire up Hadron Colliders as a hobby, or you have too much spare time or you are grade A1 geek!

Well done! :thumbsup:

That’s brilliant, all that’s left is to commission a small production run of the test plugs & loom and to design a testing app for iOS or android phones....
I’ll have one to get the ball rolling :thumbsup:

My idea is to keep my first y-cable permanently connected in the car. Right now its plug can be touched from inside the car for any future tests, even when the roof doesn't work anymore.
If the roof malfunctions & won’t move, could you force feed the missing o/p or i/p to enable the roof to be stowed or raised?
That could be handy :)

Yes, that was the initial idea behind this story. :thumbsup:

Now I'm able to present alternative facts to the CTM to force it to work even with broken wires or microswitches. :rofl:
Good man, now get them on sale chop chop :P
