Hi Matsleight,

I'm based in Bristol and can sort and relocate it for you. I'll PM you.
 
My z4 motor has also stopped working, releases but does not move. Anyone got contact number for bowser 134, heard good things on forum of his work.
Thanks Jon
 
Hey bowser134, my '08 z4 roof has stopped working too. The roof unlatches/latches but doesn't go up or down. Any chance you could help? Thanks
 
Hey [ref]bowser134[/ref],

Can you drop me your details please - I have a roof that needs fixing - based in east London.

Thanks!
 
Best bet is to have the motor moved out of the rear void it normally sits in to the boot area. Roof stays on for this and added bonus it can be topped up and swapped in an hour if it should fail for any other reason than water ingress.
Just drilling holes in the plastic cylinder the motor sits in will only work if the main drain is clear - if not it will flood with water at 1 inch deep instead of 8 inches.
See Mike in St Helens on here , moved for £80 while you wait an hour....contact mike at [email protected] he does key coding , exhaust box "growler" mod and can do dealer level programming with an i pad like device via your OBD socket on bluetooth. I had roof open AND close with remote on key and alarm audible set, silent un set.

I know we've already been in contact but thought I better acknowledge this thanks :)
 
Hi Folks,
Just had my roof motor repositioned into the boot where it is assured to remain dry, perfect!
The job was expertly done by Mike (ducklakeview) in St.Helens in about an hour for £80, perfect!
And here's the icing on the cake.... while there he re-gassed the air-con (£20), showed me how to clear my soft top drains and spotted my leaking cam gasket - so he got me a price and got it fixed! Brilliant service from a really top chap.
But it doesn't stop there.... he also diagnosed where my passenger side wet carpet is coming from so I'm going back up another time with the door membrane to be fitted.

Highly recommend Mike (ducklakeview) for the motor relocation, I consider this preventative maintenance, don't wait till it fails, get it done now so it doesn't fail!
Cheers, Giles

Great job from bowser134 today. Revived and relocated the motor in 1.5hrs. Even supplied a trim panel to hide the motor in the boot. Very decent bloke, recommended!!
