Thanks Paulw. That`ll be great for future reference . It go`es into dealership wednesday, it be interesing to see what is wrong with it and at least I might have some understanding of what they might try and tell me. . For future reference here are the symptoms; Whilst closing top it was making a labouring noise. Had to finish closing manually as it would not go further than half way. When it is closed, if I attempt to raise roof the windows will open and then I hear approx 3 sec whirring noise from the back somewhere. When I raise roof manually I have to release hydraulic pressure first and that seems to enable me to open boot (luggage) lid. After that I can manually raise roof with no problems. Occasionally when I drive off the beeping noise starts and will stop again when I come to a stop. I can cure that by pressing roof button whilst turning ignition off and holding it for about 5 seconds and then I am away!
I will report back Thursday hopefully with the good news that it is all fixed and it did`nt cost me and arm and a leg when I get it back from the stealership. Thanks Dave
