Thanks to all who replied!
Geoff's suggestion about the handbrake switch was correct: the wire had become detached. Once I reconnected it the roof went up as normal! Hooray!

Now to see to those holes...

In case it happens again, a clue is that the brake light on the instrument panel should illuminate when the handbrake is on.

Thanks, Simon.
Because the Bongo has an automatic transmission, I confess to not engaging the parking brake every time I park the van, but only on hills.

Good wishes from Leon

I suspect you should nip that in the bud before it becomes a habit ;-)
