Juguar convitable top operation problem
Hi Mike..we just bought a 97 xk8 with the same problem. Simple fix. Remove the carpet on the right side of the trunk, above the cd changer. You'll see the pump. We were able to top off the fluid using a turkey baster and a flex-straw. Make sure you have the correct hydrolic fluid and just **** some into the baster, attach the flex-straw to the end and bend it into the fill hole on top of the pump. Super simple. Worked like a charm. Roof raising and lowering like new.
Does anyone know anything about the error message
It could be the brake pedal switch, it often occurs it fails in our kitty. If your car (as mine) is equipped with a cruise control, this could be associated with the msg "cruise control not available" too (or something similar).
In this case you can fix (or change) that switch. The worst is to dismount it... ;-)
Good chance

Overheating barina
I had a similar problem and also checked the thermostat and pump first. They were fine so I looked at the radiator which turned out to be clogged and I took it to a radiator shop and they cleaned it out, problem solved. I have now added new antifreeze so that won't be an issue again. If your water is clean, one of your hoses might be collapsing and this is the same as running with a closed radiator. Feel if the hoses are soft. If they are you can put a spring in the hose to keep it open or get new hoses. If that is not the problem, you may have a blown head gasket. When the engine is cold take off the radiator cap, make sure the radiator is full and run the engine until the fan cuts in. If there is a regular supply of bubbles you should have the engine checked out.
