Oh one other thing, don't be tempted to oil or lubricate either the channels that the lifting mechanism runs in or the gas struts!
The mechanism has small plastic wheels that run in the channels, if there lubricated dust and dirt sticks to the oil and causes them to skid and jerk around - just as ...

Not sure that is a wise move! Its absolutely critical that both sides are kept in step otherwise you cause the roof to twist and snap, one motor is not normally of sufficient power to lift the entire roof. There have been MANY examples where one motor has come loose and then the roof twists and ...

Here are a series of images about the roof in general, from this point on are images about the Teleflex cables and how there driven by the motors, as you can see both Teleflex cables are driven on both sides by opposite sides of the crown pully driven by the motors. http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images ...

Your aware the that the two Teleflex cables run down from the front/top of the roof (pulling/pushing the mechanism) thru the motor gears and then cross over around the back and go back up the other side again via the gears however they are free on the opposite side, this ensures that both sides of ...

He means as he says in the write-up disconnected the Starter Battery and allowed the electronics to reset.

Once you have the motors off then they will need cleaning inside normally, have you read the Factsheet on cleaning them in the Members area? https://igmaynard.co ...

Best to ensure that there is something to screw into behind the plastic trim, the plastic trim alone will not hold screws after a bit of use, just a small square of 3-ply at least behind the plastic to spread the load on the plastic itself and to hold the the thread of the screws.
Another method I ...

Replacement screen! Repairs have a very high failure rate and can only be used on small stone chips rather than cracks!
If you have a crack then if its from the edge of the screen its often due to rust problems at the edges causing the screen to be under tension it helps if your able to have the ...

? You were using a Kador strip to link the two fig-of-8 strips together?

The Glow plugs do normally operate at less than 12v and frequently rated at around 11v I have noticed, however the voltage will normally increase as they get hot and the current they draw falls off. A common glowplug is the NGK-701J variety;
