wondering if anyone could clear up a few things for me, i bought an electric roof kit off twinny off here and what i want to kno is

1) where does the pump mount?
2) what switch would i use to operate it iirc they r the same as the pass window button, be good if someone could confirm
3) what hydraulic oil is needed

any help appreciated

thanx
liam

 

anyone?

 

pump mounts on left hand side in the boot should be a cover on a popper in there . As for thhe switch roof switch ofdf ebay be aroundm a fiver and as for fluid will check haynes manual later and get back to you hope this has been of some help

 

As said, roof pump mounts to the boot floor to the left, you will need the proper trim pannel(has a lift up flap) to cover it over, switches are the same as the window 1's but have the little icon on, i may have 1 if i look that you can have, as for the fluid standard brake fluid works fine but avoid the hydroscopic stuff used in citroen suspension setups as it rots the seals

 

if you have mate that would be great, ill send u some beer tokens thanx for the info, any pics of the trim panel i need so i kno what to look for

 

I know its in a stereo case but where that is is anyones guess lol

As for the pannel, there easy enough to get hold off via ebay etc (bout a tenner) there the same bar the bottom which has a little box cover that hides the motor against the wheel arch

 

well my car wont be back on the road for a few months yet anyway so no rush m8, just if you do come across it, i had the new engine all finished but havin probs with fuelling so thought fuck it im gonna go efi so its all in bits again lol

 

Soon as it turns up ill hola,(ill look propperly on the weekend)..in the meantime good luck it'll all be worth it for the 4 days of summer

 

think ill prob be too scared to drive it properly when its done so ill prob sell it, dunno yet not made up my mind an thanx m8

 

dont use brake fluid ????? use hydraulic jack oil [halfrauds etc] the switch is not the same the windows are earth controlled the roof is live controlled get the proper switch the wiring is a asshole because it is inhibited so only works in position1 two relays at the front two at the back in the rear quarter the pump has four bolts on the passenger side the trim panel is different as has been said the hydraulic struts have a different mounting on them iirc the non power hood bolts the power hood has pins and circlips

 

cheers mate, switch sorted, my roof was wlectric at some point but someone took it off, i dont have or nor can i find the interior trim panel which is a bit of a cunt so if anyone spots 1 anywhere id be grateful if u could send me a link

 

ok

any hydraulic fluid will do (NOT LHM )

they are the same switch (its in the wiring that differs)

also to mount it (if cab had electric roof from factory there is 2 threads in boot ) then you need a bracket that mounts on these and to pump

if not then you need to sit pump in boot passenger side

wiring does only work in pos1 unless (iirc its the yellow) relay from under dash is removed

manual roof pins have ball joints on end

electric roof pins (are pins and circlips)

the rear passenger panel is different has a cut out for pump and a separate cover that pressed studed on

hope this helps
