Cabriolet power hood

Hi all,

could someone offer advice please?

although I can get the power hood to move, the NS hood bin clip won't seem to release the hood bin. In fact it seems to do the opposite of what I'm doing at the switch in the car. I've checked, and the wiring looks OK. This is following a replacement of that clip which had broken. I also have hydraulic fluid coming from the Rams. I am using a synthetic hydraulic fluid made by Comma called Central hydraulic fluid. My two questions are: can anyone suggest what the issue is, and can anyone recommend a suitable garage in the West Midlands that could help.

many thanks,

brian boxall

Hello Brian,

Sorry to hear of your issue with the hood. West Midlands garage? Sorry no, but there is Jack Smith n Swansea ( not a million miles across country) who specialises in hoods and has been at it for years, so might be worth at least a phone call - although diagnosing problems at a distance is always a black art.

Can’t recall his contact details, but Googleable, and I think he has a good reputation with the MX5 chaps. His rates are cheap enough to make a journey well worth while. Genuine back street garage, one man band, so if this type of set up is not for you, then give him a miss. 

Kind regards, 

Gareth.
