Hydraulic roof rams

[yanathem]

Hi
Initially the roof did not raise completely and I followed guidance and found pump reservoir to be very low. I refilled it and the roof worked again but I noticed small drop over time on nearside. When cleaning roof channels and seals I noticed oil ( and could smell it) to the rear of the nearside ram so having read various posts on the forums I believe leaking ram is the issue

Those rams are really easy to swap. You have done the hardest part of the job taking the pump out to top it up. Use an adjustable prop inside the van to hold the roof up. Change one at a time.

I have thought about doing it myself but spoke to Richard at Kernow and am thinking about getting everything done ie rams, sensors, pump and bellows. Won't be cheap but will probably give us another 5-10 years of hassle free use and allow us to sell it on knowing next owners will get a decent vehicle, but thank you for the reply
