Re: horse shoe what do i need
correct me if im wrong..but wouldn't you then have to manually lift up the rear of the hood, find a way to keep it upright, then climb back into your car and press the switch to open the horseshoe.
Or do you intend on fitting the motor to lift the back of the hood to the upright position too?

Re: Hardtop headlining replacement
there are a couple of guides floating around on the net...and it didn't look too hard..from what i remember the rear screen didn't need to be taken out but blunt knife / spatula was used to tuck the material in....at £450 i would attempt it myself before taking it to a retrimmer.

Re: MOT - Headlights too low
if i could go there and unsieze the rods i could technically adjust the lights manually i assume?
is it not possible to replace the rods with a screw/bolt and adjust them manually?
i just want to get it through the MOT..any bolts i could wind/unwind or add a couple of washers to adjust ?
