Ok times been tight So far I've changed the air filter 2 of the clips broke off that hold the box closed due to rust. I changed the spark plugs and HT leads, as one was split. chipping away still have the basics of servicing to do, gear box fluid and belts etc( mechanic for this).
I soaked the links in oil but the mechanism still will not turn past half way. From reading online ppl talk about the boot lock mechanisms and the rear window needing to work. Others say it should manually open anyway but not great for the window seal to do this with it up. Does anyone know what the actual procedure for lowering the roof manually should be? Or have a systematic approach to checking the various components to allow for the roof to drop?
