E85 Z4 Roof Motor Repair Nottingham/East Midlands?

Hi Everyone,

Recently the hydraulic roof motor on my E85 Z4 failed and I was wondering if anyone on the forum knows any garages in the Nottingham/East Midlands area that would be able to carry out this repair as well as relocate the motor and pump to the boot to prevent this failure from reoccurring?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Alex

Yes and after scanning that forum it seems to me that shops in the UK that do roof motor repairs and relocation to the boot are a lot easier to find than here in the US and Canada. And it seems they do great work at very fair prices too.

Hey Alex, I just posted some info on replacing the motor on my Z4 and you might be interested in doing this yourself. It's a little dirty but not too difficult. Good luck
