Sweet. I'll take it apart and see what's the crack with it. Will let you know how I get on. :smug:

one last question?, if I only need the clip?, where can I buy them from?

TPS, eBay?

I've had a look.

The White clip that acts as a slider is broken. I've managed to locate another new mechanism. But the problem I have now is removing the motor as it has cables attatched. Any help on this?

Thanks

I would just replace the lot, cables and all. Much easier.

If I can get another clip. That would be alot easy to just change. But I doubt it if I can get that seperate tbh.  :angry:

Mine is a 5 door and it's the rear driver side that's packed in.

try the scrapyard.
if you need to take the cable out I don't think you need to take off the motor, you should be able to pull up the tension and take it off the runner. if you need to take off the motor it's the 5 torx screws you need to undo. as vdubninja says it's easier to get a full mech tho but it's doable if you want to do it cheaper. maybe try and get a mech from a scrappy bud?

It's ok vdubninja, we all make mistakes.  :wink:

I've rang a mate, he's got some doors from a MK3 at his unit, so I'll try him.

Fingers crossed  :smiley:
