As of now, thats on my list at the bottom

Hahaha! I thought of that approach - but thought that probably keeping it moving would be better to keep it free I also know what to do next time too, and have a couple of spare mechanisms now I glued up the Headlining yesterday AAMOF Its already starting to come down in places :D as the foam...

OK. Next question :) Should I drive on the motorway with it fully open or will the aerodynamic forces do it no good / rip it off?

I then: 1. mounted both assembled mechanisms to the car (a Farg of a job with almost all screws difficult to put in - get a T20 into because of the other bits above) (the motor was already dropped out of connection with the cables) 2. pulled both mechanisms to their fully open posn 3. Remounted...

Roof goes up Roof goes down YES!!! Thanks, and for future reference: two old ones I got hold of and the other side on mine all confirm the relative positions of the two toothed bars either side of the cog - as does the fact that it works! Photos of the rear ends of the bit that raises EDIT: The...

FFS! Siamese octopus twins couldnt simultaneously insert all those greased up fiddly bits into their respective fiddly positions :)

Grrrrr!

cant postthe image, hang on a bit please :)

Thanks The thing is I am not sure the unbroken one hasnt skipped a few cogs at which point should I introduce the top strip? Put both red arrow strips with teeth with first tooth on the cog wheel and then push both in, or delay the top one a bit? This is a fun job .... Last night I actually had...

Hahaha! I am now reassembling one side Can you tell me how the two teethed bars line up, if you see what I mean when one is at the end, where should the other be? Cheers

Thanks. Its only one side that's broken, luckily

@andyfreelandy Thanks. Did you rebuild the sliders? With second hand cannibalised bits or summaat loike this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-FREELANDER-SUNROOF-REPAIR-KIT-1998-2006-1-year-warranty/111753144472?epid=880666663&hash=item1a0501a898:g:eX4AAOSwak5Z11Ot Mine are all lubricated...

Hi, I have had my sunroof out, not too bad at all - and now all rebonded and hammerited But the little lug on the plastic mechanism on one side that attached the mech to the little swing arm causes lift is broken off (terrible explanation but doesnt matter) I will try to get a new piece /...

New VCU here €600 (£510) Not sure if that is with or without 23% VAT - I didnt ask! He is finding out about a reconditioned one, but I am wary of them done here. Each support bearing (I need 2): LR €103 GKN €67 BJS €65 Britpart €24 Avoid the Britpart ones, or a bargain? PS, are these the...

Thanks @Nodge68 I think Bell Eng sell them for £180 plus £100 if no exchange Hopefully someone from home will be coming down to visit this year to smuggle one down to me and then take back the old one And I can compare prices with buying one down here (Liable to be much much more expensive tho...

Hi! where is the best place to buy a VCU in UK these days? It may be that I cant get the old one in for exchange (But I might be able to), so I dont know if New is also an option? Cheers 2001 Td4

Well, that was clever of me then. If the VCU gets damaged by working at around 70 C, then mine must have been truly buggered by months in the Portuguese midsummer heat - I'm sure it got substantially hotter than that, and for long enough per day to easily allow the heat to get right through. In...
