Hi All,

i was looking forward to some roofless motoring at the up coming meet but alas it's not to be

On tuesday i shown somebody at work the roof as they had never seen it b4

on putting the roof back up they saw a small spray of what looked like oil coming from the area just behind the boot lock

looked in the boot later and there was a stream of oil all along the boot rubber

phoned up my local dealer, Dixons of Mansfield, spoke to a very nice service chap called Ian, got it booked in for today, blimey fast for a change

they had the car all day while i was at work and this is the fault report they filed -

hopefully they will have the new parts in on monday when they have got the car AGAIN to have the manifold sorted

oh well at least it' not costing me a penny,all done under warranty

Yeah - if it is only the hydraulics that are buggered rather than the actual mechanism, then surely it is safe enough to do it manually (just pretend you have an escort cabriolet of some other kind of backwards manual crappy system!

Thats really bad luck Lyndon

when i can't get the lid of a tin of baked beans, i find a can opener does the trick every time - have you considered this option?

Julia couldn't drive it as she doesn't has an HGV license!
