Cab roof problem

[80sRetro]

Hi All, I have recently bought a 1989 motorsport cab, as expected the electric roof does not work . I have had a quick poke about and there seems to be what looks like solenoid block with loads of pipes coming from it in the passengers side of the boot. I am not concerned with the roof not being electric but opening the boot to release the hood cover is a pain and was wondering if any one has sorted this problem before to allow the cover to be released and locked electrically ?????

That looks like a hydraulic roof not electric, try a search on that

Hi I will try to help first there are two fuses at the front of the motor check them next above the drivers sun viser there is a micro switch that some times gives trubal which stops the motor from working ther is also a in line fuse by the side of the battery

Just like buses, one doesn't come along for ages, then two come along together!
These electro hydraulic roofs are as rare as hens' teeth, and info. on them appears to be even rarer. I've never seen one and have zero data on them - can't find circuit diagrams anywhere, but at least there are two of you trying to sort them now, with the help of cliff_costa who seems to know a bit about them.
