Roof Motor replacement

Post by mikanalia »

Today my roof wouldn't open fully,(was fine yesterday!!!) the last bit to fold down stayed up, so I closed the roof, tried to open it again, which it did but when I started driving, the beeping noise kicked in, and when I got home it wouldn't close!! no motor noise, just the continuous beep so i went to my local garage, they closed it manually and said not to open it again...... I know I can buy a second hand motor for the roof but they've said as they're not specialists it would take them about 5 days to fix, and there's the big garage bill............... so I guess my question is, does anyone in the south west (Plymouth) know of anywhere that I can get it fixed at a reasonable price??
I am gutted!!

Unlikely to be motor. Check microswitches first (search the forum for the many posts about them)
