**REPAIR STATUS UPDATE**
Here’s a recap of what I’ve been doing since .
Had friendly mechanic visit house to read fault . Was error code AGBC- Hall censor roof shell 2 - packed . We gently raised roof up into shut position (but unable to fully engaged/lock) & drove to said friendly mechanics garage at 20mph- possibly the sedatest this car has ever been . With perpetual chimes as a soundtrack and a fair tailback . Ordered and switched out hall sensor (the sub £15 1 series equiv part) . This didn’t clear fault ( glad I didn’t sink £200 into the orig z4 part} - so he deduced a wiring fault - dreaded brown wire was broken and duly repaired .
For good order sake new BMW battery and replaced salmon relays . Had MOT done at same time .. total all in cost £550 incl of labour and vat . Somewhat relived and very happy .
Thanks all for your advice and feedback . This was beyond my comfort zone and delighted was able to be repaired rather than replaced approach at dealers

Hi my pride and joy has A68C error code (Hall sensor roof shell 2 - packed) .well out of my league in terms of repair
Roof is up but not fully engaged , so happy to take to my local garage at low speed.
-Plan to replace salmon pink relays and battery for good orders sake - but as it stands can’t get into boot as is in a slightly raised position. Am hoping this can be rectified at garage
-from what I have read sounds like most likely culprit is broken wire which plan to splice in new better grade silicone replacement on both sides around roof hinge areas .
If I need to change the hall sensor I gather Legend has it that the said hall sensor is a costly item from bmw for z4 version - But the same are available for mini and 1 series for a fraction of the price albeit with different connection?? If this is the case does any one have part number of alternatives please - or where I may find ? Might need replacement connection to mate with z4
Any tips or info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
