Hi Mart, thanks for that. Unfortunately a short while after the loom splicing was done, it failed again. Plus, it failed whilst here in the Czech Republic, under a massive thunderstorm. Took me ages to dry the car out. However, on my car there are no small catches under the flap, only an Allen...

Thanks Rev-head/atc, It has a 2.3 engine, which purrs nicely. I was quite surprised at how quiet it was, although when I put my foot down, it does roar nicely. I picked it up this afternoon, drove it back with the roof down, oh joy! (although it was a tad cold). It cost £787 in all, and...

OK, here's an update. I bought some meguiar convertible screen polish, and spent an hour or so trying to clear the murkiness from the rear screen. It worked up to a point, but where the screen has become too opaque (through repeated folding) it doesn't do much, but at least I can see better...

Brake lights fully operational, so am going to get the back screen replaced and the hood workings checked out up at Coventry.

Hi there, thanks for the reply. The 2 lights in question only flash when the key is in the ignition and turned to electrics on. When I start the car, all lights go out immediately. Thanks for answering the question on the hood fault too. I now think it is an electric roof, mainly due to the...

Thanks Rev-Head (Thought I'd replied to this already - must be a gremlin somewhere). When you say "would check all the wiring in the boot as that could be at fault but usaully the whole thing would stop working in that case", what do you mean by the whole thing? I thought that the roof itself...

Hi All, I think I have this one sussed, but not sure. I've just bought a 1993 Audi 80 Cabriolet, and apart from the roof problems, when I turn the ignition on, the usual red lights come up, plus the water coolant light and the brake pad lights (I'm assuming they are pad lights; they are next...

Hi there, thanks for the reply. I have these guys on my list of people to contact Monday morning. The roof lifts up (front and back) after releasing the front pull handle. However, nothing happens at all when I press the button on the door jam. The tonneau cover does not do anything at all...

Hi all, I am now the proud owner of a 1993 89 Cabriolet, in black. It looks stunning, but has a couple of things wrong with it. The obvious is the rear screen is very murky, and has a small tear in it. Does anyone know if this can be repaired easily? I have looked around a little, and one Ebay...
