I am a new (proud) owner of a 97 323i convertible but knew the fully electric hood needed some tlc and was going to be top of list for sorting out on purchase.. picked it up yesterday and now the roof only moves less than an inch, it disengages a lttle but wont move... I can hear the motor wurring but it seems locked solid..
I have read that there should a hexagonal allen type key for manual operation but the car doesnt seem to have one..
Can anyone help with any (positive) advice - i was so excited when I bought it as I had seen the roof go up & down although needed a little help half way down - and my new found excitement has turned to instant frustration and the less enthusiastic other half is already giving me that 'I told you so look!'..
Also any know any decent garage/mechanic in the NW/Lancashire if poss who could give me some expert advice costs of buying & fitting a new one.. Cheers
