£335 for the two mechanisms and a can of lithium grease. Workbench needed for the cassette, somewhere flat for the headliner, gaffer tape to hold the pyros, no special tools; 5-6 hours of work. Works perfectly.
Thanks, with both roofs stuck open and the reset procedure tried, and given inadequate space and time I will have to take it to my favorite mechanic this time. Seems like a job worth learning, though!
