Cheers Glove!

Has been one of those achievement evenings with Golfy.

Fitted an LED to the handbrake warning light, it had never worked.

Sorted the windows

Took apart the whole dash to fit my old clocks but this time got them straight and with all bulbs working!

Found a missing screw for the dash, now a lot more substantial.


Still loads to do but as you say, really gratifying to sort the issues and not pay someone else!


Cheers!

Take off the door card and have a look.  If the motor turns but no window movement, could be a broken/jammed cable.

Over time the metal swarf from the cable, mixed with grease and dirt, can block up the guide tube and foul up the gear cog/worm gear in the motor assembly.

As long as the cable hasn't snapped (as mine did) it's repairable.
