Roof motor fluid service/relocation

[inkey$]

Toyed with doing this myself, but at 6’3” and blessed with shovel hands, I don’t much relish being in the boot upside-down.

Anybody in the London/Kent/Suffolk/south east that could help me with this? I’m told the motor is new (no guarantee), but I have no idea how bad the drains are and suspect the hydraulic fluid may need looking at as its a little slow. And although she lives in a garage I’d quite like to relocate the motor anyway so it’s future proofed.

There’s beers and a pack of smokes* in it for anyone that can help

I could help if you're up this way. However, I've never heard of the fluid degrading so it goes slow. I suspect that is likely to be either a pump on it's way out, or possibly the first signs that a wet, corroded motor is struggling.
Either way, it needs to come out into the daylight to see what's going on.

Aye, if it's in a garage you should be in no rush unless it finally stops moving at all.
