Damn! Tried locking the doors and managed the drive back from the station without the error, for only the second time in about 30 runs. Tried it again last night and got the error... first time must have just been coincidence.

Just in case this gives anybody a Eureka moment, it's started doing something else a bit odd which I'm guessing is related... When putting the roof down (which had always worked fine) it now often stops once the boot lid is raised, and gives me the three note warning. If I then just release the swit...

May i ask the following and suggest something? When the roof refuses to go down, has the boot been opened? By that i mean have you used the key to physically open the boot lid before the roof fails to operate? If this is the case, and maybe if it isn't as well, when you get the warning and the roof...

Not that I've noticed, why? The boot lid is monitored and will affect roof operation over 8mph. That switch inside the boot lid is a tilt switch and its just for the boot light. Sounds to me like its the boot latch switches, the second photo is blank but im guessing its supposed to be the latch in ...

Remove the boot lid internal trim and inspect the connector - I gather the problem was it was not fully plugged in. Maybe yours was assembled by the same worker? Just tried this, but I'm not sure which connector I'm looking at. Don't know if you can point it out on the below photo? The only sensor ...

while driving with it down I start getting a warning tone of three rising notes in a row - kicks in at about 10mph. When I then come to a stop and try to raise the roof, it doesn't move and just makes that same three note beeping sound. Does your speedo work properly? Does the needle ever jump slig...

The generic EOBD fault readers do not access the roof electronics - you need the Peugeot system. If you don't have it, and you have an old 32-bit laptop, I would cost less to buy a set on eBay than to get a dealer to plug his in to your car. You can use a 64-bit laptop, but you need to install a vi...

Anyway, I believe the final steps of the procedure is; 1. Set the two white U hooks into the manual position. 2. Pull the blind in boot out and latch to the extended position. 3. Close the boot. 4. Start the car 5. Press the roof switch down (close roof). You will hear a 'click' in the boot as the ...

I have recently seen a post that a similar problem turned out to be a loose connector for the boot lid sensors, located behind the trim of the boot lid, i.e. the other side of the rear number plate. Thanks Ian - what's the best way to physically check that? Also, this seems a very obvious and proba...

Had a good old fiddle with those cable adjusters, but didn't help. :( TBH, while I was doing it I realised they weren't likely to be the culprits... Even once the error has occurred, the latch seems to be in entirely the correct position, fully closed. When push the white part to open it (as you do ...

I can't see anything on the sites to raise my confidence. I've just had a look in my boot, and the cable adjusters are clearly visible. As long as you write down what you do (how many flats in which direction) so that you can set it back to where it was if necessary, what have you got to loose? Coo...

I don't think the average Peugeot garage will be much help, but they will be happy to charge you while they tinker. The experts are here. Thanks for the link, Ian. Telford is a bit of a way for me... especially for anything that might involve leaving the car with them. You'r right that there don't ...

It sounds like one or more of the micro switches are sticking in place? Personally I would get a can of compressed air, give them a quick blow over and perhaps a wipe over with a non lint cloth lightly sprayed with wd40 or similar. Would the fact that when I put the roof down, it initially thinks i...

It does sound like that - the problem doesn't first arise when you try and do anything with the roof, it arises while driving around with it down. I actually managed by 15 minute drive home from the station without it happening last night, for the first time in a week or two. I achieved this by just...
