Here's a list of BMW specialists I found on another forum. I've never used them but I have read positive feedback about BMR Performance if Crawley wouldn't be too far.
What's the roof issue? I'm in Norfolk but my dad lives in Littlehampton, so I could visit him overnight and help you out perhaps?
Funnily enough my parents live in Littlehampton!
Roof goes down. Motor continues to run and windows don’t go back up? Give it 15 secs or so and you can put up on the switches.
Motor is still in usual place.
Ah ok. That tells me the system doesn't know the roof is fully down.
So look behind the left hinge when the roof is down. You'll see a small black cube. That is the 'up' hall sensor. Hidden below it is another one, the 'down' sensor. This should tell the control module that the roof is fully down, so it then turns off the motor and puts the windows up.
You can just see a metal tag outboard of the hinge that passes over the hall sensor when the roof is down.
If the hall sensor can be seen poking out forwards from under the other one, get a screwdriver and try to push it back into line.
Hopefully this will be all it needs unless it's been broken off or otherwise damaged.
Thank you will try that. Will let you know. Thanks again
No problem. Good luck.
I go against BMR as they ripped me off so badly it wasn’t funny. Quote of £600 became £2300 and they failed to inform me, as well as damaging an o2 sensor and expecting me to pay for it. At least the main BMW dealer charges the quoted price.
