A couple of weeks ago I had a problem, when I put the roof back on the pump never stopped and the alarm would not go off.
I refered to the many posts on here and re-set it myself using the allen key which stopped the alarm as was OK.
Tried it next day and the same scenario with the pump still running and the roof alarm.
Re-checked again the many posts which pointed me toward the micro-switches - checked these and all seemed OK.
Then had an idea - the last thing in the sequence is the boot lid closing - I wondered is it actually closing, pressing down on eithjer side I found one side not closed and latched.
Opened it up and noted the bowden cables on one side looked slack compared to the other, on looking closer I noted a black plastic clip was located differently on one side to the other, moved it to the same position, the bowden cable tightened up and all now works 100% good.

Just like to say a BIG thankyou to everyone who contributes and how much you all helped me sort it out and if my story helps someone else then thats really great..!!

Happy motoring - from Dave in Mazarron, Spain
