Roof Motor Repairer in South West Area?

[sharpyboy]

Hi everyone, after reading your posts on the roof motor problem on z4 e85 I am paranoid and expecting my roof to fail at any time. My car is a 2006 facelift model and I have no idea if the motor has ever been changed so I am half expecting it to pack up at any minute. In the case of this happening I am looking into independent garages/individuals in the south west area that can supply replacement motor and fit to my existing hood. I've heard of places in the north east and in Kent but would like to have somewhere closer to home as I live in Cornwall.

Thanks

I did a 200+ miles round trip yesterday to get mine done....

You have a very nice car... This is a great excuse to take it for a drive

If your motor is still working ok then you shouldn't need to replace it, dead ones can normally be revived as well
If you check your drains often they shouldn't block up & flood, I check mine every few weeks by running water through them.

unfortunately I'm in my 60's so the prospect of getting a low profile jack and axle stands and removing wheels is out of the question also I do not have a garage just a covered parking area. if I look down the drivers side when the roof is down I can see about 1 inch of water there and have prodded about with a stretched out coat hanger but cant find the drain hole.
