Roof not lowering evenly

The easiest diagnostic test is;
If one side is lowering faster or sagging then swap the L & R Ram Hydraulic pipes over at the pump end. They are next to each other.
If the sagging stays on same side - Ram faulty.
If the sagging swaps sides - Pump at fault, but check Hydraulic fluid level before blaming pump.

Thank you that’s a very clear way of diagnosing. I’ll check the other posts on here as I saw the one to get to the fluid reservoir and at least check that, much obliged!

So for the moment I’ve replaced the facia and control knob which was slipping a bit.

I also tested the theory whether I can lower manually with the screw (now I’ve found it!) and then raise up (electrically) slightly and then all the way back down.

This works and the roof then locks in place, which now means I have a little peace of mind and don’t have to lash the roof down / travel at less than 60kph.
