hi buying rear doors the weekend with electric rear as opposed to my manuals. i am presuming straight swap on doors and connecting extra switches and loom to centre console.
any known tips/problems or is it straight forward enough

[TheBoy]

That about sums it up .  All the loom should already be there (assuming doors come with loom, as that bit varies), just need switches by gearstick(prefacelift)/drivers door(facelift).

Hopefully doors come with doorcards, else you will ned them

Buying interior and complete rear doors as mine looking sorry just wanted to be sure while I cannabilising car. Many thanks

did this on mine. if face lift you'll poss need drivers door loom as well. count the wires in to the switch on the drivers door. (cant remember the exact number, think it's 6 with out rears and 13 with). :-/ if they don't work once plugged in, double check that you've got a 30 amp maxi fuse in slot 35 in the fuse box under dash. (its the top right hand one). i over looked this minor detail and wasted hours of my life trying to figure out why nothing was working.

Ditto, as above, did an ex plod last year, had to source a  drivers loom as well, you might be lucky with a Factory  spec GLS.

mine and donor both pre facelift switches in centre console, no switches in drivers door

spent the whole day today cannabilising donor elite...
fitted reardoors complete (basically staight swap) conected switches in centre console,
still no electric windows.
its late know so will check fuses and relays tomorrow failng that i could just put direct feed from switches to motor i suppose.
once i get it figured out i will let you know

have you got fuse F7 in russ/. 30amp

[russ b]

fuse there. will check connector on b post to make sure all the wires from the door are connected to all the wires in the loom. i am still prepared to direct feed switches as similar to fitting elite seats into lower spec if you catch my drift, but firstly does anyone know if there is a different or additional relay i:e relays from elite into gls...
by the way thank you baron those calipers have done the trick my car know stops!!
