How do i reset the system if its "lock out"?

Have you sorted the leak? You need to do that first, and if is locked out, then you need PP2000 software

We seem to be going around in circles here.....
#1 Fix the leak
#2 Top up oil after leak fixed
#3 Test system, if it doesn't work, then further action needed

You must fix the leak first, If you persist in messing about with it before that is done, then you will lock up the ecu (unless you have already done so)

I feel really stupid but what is " then you will lock up the ecu" what is the ecu?

After a number of aborted attempts to operate the roof, the ECU's program concludes that there is a serious problem with the system, and it will not allow further attempts. Once the defect(s) have been rectified, it is necessary to use Peugeot Planet 2000 to command the normal operation of the ECU.
