New roof motors vs used

Post by Jiujitero » Sat Jul 01, 2023 11:29 am

Hello everyone. Wanted to get some advise please. My roof motors need to be replaced and the 'new ones' are very expensive, the second hand ones a lot cheaper, but they all say "tested and working OK", which could mean that they could work for a short period of time?

Is it worth then buying the new ones? Or does anyone know someone who sells them, but refurbished (stripped down and serviced)? I have seen the amazing post by Bluspanner on servicing the motors, but afraid is way beyond my skills :lol:
