roof motor cambridgeshire

Nathan in Mid Suffolk with a roof motor thats just died too, more than happy to take the short ride over to Cambridgeshire for it to get the kiss of life if spaces availble ! If so jsut let me know when, not much fun at the mo driving around with the hood up on a nice day, especially as it won't open manually either as the hydraulic release isn't working either !
 
Just reading this and have to say I think this is superb that Ducklakeview is travelling around to help other Z owners.
Its really what forums are all about. :thumbsup:

Sure sign of a corroded motor is the release not working - It's a small brass plunger in the alloy pump housing and it will seize due to the corrosion. Easy fix though, plus you'll never need it again once the motor is snug and dry in the boot.

OK guys,

Mike is free on Saturday 13th May - how does this sit for all? Ideally we will need a garage or some indoor space. I am happy to do this at mine in Peterborough or if Cambridge is better for most, I am open to travelling if someone wants to volunteer some space.

Thoughts please ...

Cheers, James
 
I'm up for this. Seems silly not to have it done as Mike is coming all this way. Can I be as late as possible on the Saturday as I have to work until around 2pm :thumbsup:
 
Hi Usel, I've added you - you are now number 6.

Rob, I don't see any issues with your timing requirements depending on when Mike can get down here. i assume he will be early as he can do 8 in the day, so 6-8 hours work, plus the drive each way.

Mike, what start time works for you ?

Cheers, James

13th works for me, anytime of the day, Cambridge or Peterborough is fine as well, no brainier before I go and shell out for a new motor.

Same for me - just let me know time and location.

James,

Can be there for about 10?

OK,

Latest update. I am happy to host at my house (decent size double garage) with coffee and bacon butties for all :) :) - I'll confirm the address via PM.

Day will start at 10am with Rob_benton being up first. Usel will be one of the last as he is only free from 2pm. Other timings TBC depending on whether we can get the extra two for a full house of 8 Zs on the day.

I will speak to Mike ref payment as I think it is only fair to pay something upfront to ensure his initial costs (fuel and covering the shop) are covered and as an incentive for everyone to show up !!

Thanks again to all.

To other Z4 owners in the Cambridgeshire area - there are two place left on the day 913th May). Total cost if we get 8, for location or relocation and bringing a dead motor back to life, will be just £105 - a total bargain.

Be quick if interested :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
Hi James,
I'm located in Essex, but am more than happy to head over to Cambridge or Peterborough if there are any spaces left. Either location is not too far away, especially considering how far Mike is travelling. My roof motor is working but I panic every time it rains.
Thanks to everyone involved getting this organised and especially Mike for undertaking such a big challenge.

Ok guys. All in my diary for the 13th. If anyone else wants to jump on board, I think the max for a day would around 10, allowing for the fact that some may need more work than others ie seized motors etc.

Mike
 
Now up to 7. However, Mike has said he could push himself and do 10 on the day, so still 3 spaces - even cheaper for the rest of us :D :D
