Thanks yes very easy to do and very cheap too, my pump off ebay cost me £15.01 and came with the rams, switch on ebay too cost a fiver, and followed the instructions on this site, which are very good , i downloaded the instructions at work so didnt have to keep looking at the laptop for guidance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stally08 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 is it possible to change to a electric for a mk4 cab? if so is it a easy change, sorry to hi-jack the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cabbytech Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes, it is a straightforward job to convert from manual to electric roof, the first thing to do, is get the pump, rams and the electric bits to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaun Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi most parts on e-bay for eletric roof convertions but hardest thing to get hold of is the 4 pins for the rams.there is apost to help you with this as other's have stated good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richie29gt Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 yep just done mine such a easy job spec as i didnt even use the instructio ns from here and i havent even got the mount ing bolts so all i done was to drill out 2 hole the width of the pump holes and job done only thing u would be best 2 do is to make sure relays do work b4 you put all your trims back in place as i have found out lol 2 new relays to be ordered now lol but good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cabbytech Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 hmmm, are you sure both relays have failed Richie, its unusual for both to fail at the same time, it sounds like a wiring or supply issue to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
