[QUOTE="Julesx, post: 530031, member: 21976"] Many thanks for your detailed replies. ozziedog - your description makes sense of it all! Moseley - your solution looks to have covered all the problems but, alas, my engineering skills are no where near as good as yours and I would make a right hash of it! I have made a few calls and it seems that I can - 1. Have the original Devon roof completely repaired having disposed of the old cap (risking a return in a few years of more leaks!) 2. Ditch the cap and buy a new one from JK and fit new bellows, etc. 3. Have a complete new roof put on. One company said that they commonly put a Dormobile roof on leaking Devons. All the parts are still manufactured by Dormobile and are readily available. Allegedly they do not leak! I have also seen http://www.spaceroofs.co.uk/index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; who have new roof solution that is similar to the Canterbury Pitt style. Looks good. Options 1 & 3 seem to be about £3k fitted :shock: I'm now off to count my 'change jar' to see if I can afford it! [/QUOTE]
