Thank you for the reply, I have contacted them and they say they have the part in stock. You wouldn't know a specialist in the North, North West who works on the roof systems. I am a bit apprehensive of tackling the job myself

I'm afraid not. I only know of Kernow Transporters in Cornwall who come highly recommended.

Again thanks for the quick response, I have been researching the roof system for some time now and it is generally a simple system used across a range of convertibles( pump, rams and sensors), Considering the vans have been available since 2006 it is amazing how difficult it is to find someone who can deal with them. If I had a suitable workshop I think I could sort it.
I have managed to find VW's mechanical handbook PDF for the California which details all the steps, unfortunately I don't have a garage and equipment.

It might be worthwhile talking to Kernow Transporters. There is a campsite nearby and they would complete the work in a few hours. I know it's a long way but it would be sorted by experts.

I haven’t used them and can’t make any recommendations, but Roofmotors.co.uk are based in Ilkley and they sell California pumps etc and lots of other stuff. So not California specific but they will deal with lots of Power-Packer designed and manufactured roof systems like the Cali.

You could try W.C.C Wirral Car Care VW and Audi specialists in Heswall. They do all the work and servicing on my Cali.mailto:[email protected]

Believe this chap specialises in most things non engine/transmission related and has a good online reputation. Think he's in Derbyshire?

After going through a very thorough search like you, there is only one guy I would trust; Richard at Kernow Transporters fixes several California roof issues every week and he’s definitely worth traveling down to Cornwall for. We planned in a weeks holiday at Marazion and Richard fixed ours by special arrangement on the Saturday morning when we arrived. He’s a top man and extremely knowledgeable.
