more roof woes

[penel]

hi again all
ive been stalking the forum since registering but not logging on too often anyway

here we go again with a roof problem
it all started when the roof went down ok but the boot lid wouldnt lock into position so we lifted it in manual mode and reset everything

roof worked fine retracted it and went for a drive and about a mile down the road the dreaded ping ping ping started

put the roof up manually, reset again and roof retracted fine went for a drive and you guessed it ping ping ping

put roof up manually again retracted roof and now the boot lid wont close hydraulically
so now im starting to get a little frustrated

any pointers would be good as the next step may be the big hammer

thanks in advance

ps check the fluid level and it is just in the marks as required
by the way can you get the zhm fluid from gsf

should have said when the boot fails to close the pump is still working whilst we hold the roof switch in position

any ideas chaps and chapes,s

ok a little update

roof will retract into boot but the small plastic shelf isnt going into place so i pressume that is why the boot lid wont shut

i tried pulling the plastic shelf into position so as to drop the boot lid but that didnt work

imm really getting frustrated with this now so any help would be great

update number two

major problems now

all we get is a constant pinging when using the roof lower switch and theres no bong when we undo the roof catches

can some one please give us a pointer as im about to be taken away in a straight jacket

check out this video on youtube. at 5:46 do you have the small plastic thing?

Don't think I've seen that before zacka...worthy of a sticky I think

[penel]

thanks for the reply

only got back on the forum tonight

did eventually get the roof sorted it was the micro switch on the left side of the boot hidden behind the boot hinge

now all working honky dory

How did you manage to diagnose that?

i now have a contact that is pug trained and does a few jobs on the side

he even did the cam belt and water pump for me at a price i wouldnt even do it for
