Hi All
I’ve just bought a cheap V10 R8. Obviously it has a few issues…. The roof or rear window doesn’t work. Needs a new power steering pump and the parking sensors don’t work.
Any advice with the window and roof would be really appreciated. I think the window motor has died but you cat open the wing by pushing the 6mm Alan key ????

I'd had a look at the RE Performance channel on YouTube, I think they talk about this very thing in their latest video.

As above, RE is in Swindon, all my work is done at Renn Automotive in Iver (even further along the M4 from you).

For specific roof problems the only people I know are Cayman Autos in Redhill (Surrey).
