The glass panel itself is fine and winds back and forth manually with no effort but strangely enough the louvre blind has disappeared? Is there a relay for one these, Ive looked the fuses and the all seem to be intact.Any ideas?

Probably an issue with the earth side of the wiring, get yourself a multimeter and start chasing back through the loom.
Of course since July is not far away I susoect we'll have 3 months of non-stop rain anyway, so I shouldn't worry too much!

Er, I think the relay lives in the roof with the motor... Or at least mine do.
Ok, get a 12v bulb and holder and two length's of wire, stick one wire to a good earth, turn the ignition on and run the other wire along the multiplug that connects to the sunfoor tilt / slide switch. If the bulb lights when touched across one of the pins, then you got power as far as the switch, if the bulb doesn't light, then, well, your back to chasing through the loom to find the fault.
I'm no electrician by any means, but you gota start somewhere Tim, and electrics are the cleanest way of getting your hands dirty!

Right, so the next thing to do is get a mutlimeter and start working back through the wiring until you find a break or short or the such...
Or fire the car into an autoelectrician's, I suspect they could fix it inside ten minutes!
