Hi
Has anyone used the services of "Cabriolet Hydraulics" of Bradenton, Fl as a preemptive method of avoiding the green shower?
You access the latch pump, cut the lines, ship them your pump & they rebuild & return to you. (Good to 10,000 psi apparently) Reinstall uses supplied couplers & a few hand tools.

As far as I understand it its the hoses that go not the pump. Usually above your head through the light in the middle. Have a read. Click Me
The only possible way to avoid it is to put on better hoses, not original Jaguar ones, or put in a pressure reducer at the pump end. However putting a reducer on does have its disadvantages in that some report the roof taking much longer to open/close.

Taylods,
Please do not spend money to rebuild the pump or its motor. These are super-reliable components. The only failures ever reported here (far as I know) were traced to one small, cheap component in the motor that suppresses electrical noise. There is a link in my sig. line below that covers how to fix it should should you need to.
