it was massively out of sync (bearing in mind the seller told me the relay had gone) and i believe some of the parts had been incorrectly fitted (the strut had been reinforced and not put back properly)..

been down again today, 4 hour round trip for a 5 minute job!
the cable between the horseshoe and the boot which stops it being lifted if the boot is open was damaged. i wouldnt have got that in a month of sunny sundays!
so roof goes up, roof goes down..
trouble is, its raining!!

i thought todays charge was reasonable, nothing! - as he is everyones expert of choice when it comes to roof maintenance then i thought what i paid first time round was reasonable.
