£75 to risk it not working and being out of warranty or peace of mind for the sake of the extra £20 to get brand new.... GLWS
Never heard of anyone having problems with these or for them to go wrong.

Obviously not seen my thread from Sunday then.

http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=95698

look like mines playing up and I not the only one. A few people have posted on various forums about issues with them even when hard wired (no scotch locks). It does seem to be a rare occurrence though and wouldn't put me off buying another. But I would want a new one for the warranty after my experience.
 
I find it strange that certain people have jumped on this sale and tried to drive the price downwards like a reverse ebay auction :(

In February last year I sold a standard GapTech RCH module that does not have the extra features that the RCH+ has and it sold for £65 within 2 hours with a 2nd person wanting to buy. The prices were the same from GapTech then as they are now.

I might just withdraw this now and put back on here in 2 months time. Then, those on this thread wanting to buy for £60/£65 will have bought their Gaptech RCH's elsewhere for £60 :rofl:
 
you will of course acknowledge that my communications have largely been via private message except the initial messages and this one.

I look forward to the opportunity to bid on the ebay auction, please post a link when its listed

cheers

If this was aimed at me posting a link to the potential issue i'm having with mine I wasn't trying to upset anyone. I only did so to correct your factually incorrect comment about it being unheard of for them to go wrong and inform members. It isn't unheard of, buts its rare and my issue may well prove to be unrelated but others have definitely had issues with them.

If you didn't want people to comment on their gaptech experiences or the price you shouldn't have put on a forum. Plenty of forum members don't for this very reason like the guy I bought some bits off recently. If comments were ging to upset you you should of stuck on ebay as you seem to be "threatening to" now, but even if you get a bite on your buy it now £80 you wont see £70 net after ebay/paypal fees. Advertising on here can be a minefield comment wise, but hey at least its free!

That said, as its a forum and its all about opinions heres mine. Turning down £65 for an electrical item (that does on occasion go down) when their only £95 new and you'll only net less than£70 on ebay anyway does seem both greedy and stupid! :poke: :P

I sympathise with the issue that you have had with your roof recently but it is unproven reading through your thread that the Gaptech is to blame. There are a number of elements involved that work the roof including ECU, sensors, motors, cabling, etc all of which could be a possible cause. If the Gaptech was the cause it would be more likely that the problem was constantly there and not intermittent, intermittent problems are usually caused by movement e.g. sensors, motors, cabling, etc.

I have sold many items on this forum including 4 other items over the last week and a 3.0i Z4 2 weeks ago, so I have no problems selling on here. What I don't agree with is that when someone advertises an item and some people jump on the bandwagon to drive down the price of that item, which is what happened in this thread. Considering Gaptechs don't come up here for sale often, only 3 that I can see in the last 15 months, one being my standard RCH that was sold for £65, another where the price has been removed and the third sold for £60 that was 3rd hand after being bought 2nd hand by the OP for £85 for someone on the forum. There are currently none for sale on ebay.
 
Hi .
Just wanted to say I didn't comment on this thread to upset anyone or drive the price down
I had in fact read the item for sale and sat here and wrote a post offering £65 delivered .
After previewing my post I decided that for £65 I would just hold my button down that little bit longer .
My ebay comment was just info on how ebay and paypal will effect your total .
No offence was ment :thumbsup:

What your conveniently forgetting with your little lecture on "how roofs work" is I already know all that (obvious from my thread) and have stated my issue may well not be the Gaptech as its more akin to a broken wire in the loom issue etc.

However and here's the bit you seem to be deliberately ignoring, as part of "looking into the problem" I have unearthed a number of threads (one on here) and other forums where people have genuinely had issues with their Gaptech's necessitating removal. So your commenting about them never going wrong is factually incorrect and is at best a lack of knowledge on your part or a little "salesmanship".
If you were buying instead of selling I'm sure you would appreciate someone piping up and stating that isn't unknown for them to go wrong.

You do seem to be taking this a bit to heart.
No one is deliberately driving the price down trying to scupper the sale. To me its seems they're making genuine offers and comments about a part that have/want and that in most folks opinion is a little overpriced for a secondhand item with no warranty that is still in production and easy to get hold of new.
 
On an upside :)
Mines been in for 3 years and no hitches
Had my auto sparky fit mine and rest it properly as would never use the scotch guard things

So it's try and if fails you remove
But get an auto sparky to fit it properly
As I love walking away and the roof goes up
Also it's going down or up whilst parking and single touch of button use
