As far as I could see they only went one way. I will check though.
Thanks for your help.

General Discussion Area / Rear electric windows

« on: 28 March 2008, 17:47:50 »

I've just changed my rear doors, and the new ones have electric windows. I have replaced the front switches for doubles and fitted the switches in the rear door but the rear windows do not work,the lightsw are on but thats it.
I checked the plugs when fitting and the wiring seemed ok.

Can any one help?  
Have I missed something?
All advice gratefully received.

I filled up at 103.9. It was a Shell garage, which beat all the other garages locally. Even Tesco, Morrissons and Asda couldn't compete.

Its a pity Oof members cant get a card in their own right.
I notice Autobahnstormers only do V6's, do you think they would consider me with my 2.0 Omega?

I would have thought it should be good for 200,000 miles before worrying too much about the engine.
It'll be more like brakes, clutch if its a manual and stuff like that. Lets be honest these are good cars and should be able to take some stick.

I think when its time to change cars, its going to be down to fuel and taxation class these days, and the way diesel is going up its not so cheap to run a diesel now.

Just serves to prove the importance of the Moderators/Admin staff we have, and why we need to thank and support them.

I have been a member/moderator of different sites and I can honestly say this is about the friendliest and best run site I have had the pleasure to be a member of... and that doesn't just happen .. its down to a LOT of hard work "behind the scenes".

Once again .. thanks guys ...

I second this..... Thanks admin

i would have thought legal proceedings can only be taken if statements were "false" ie slanderous

Unfortunately its all down to each persons opinions.
Was a certain job done properly, or was it not.
We all have our own standards, and its seldom that someone else would come up to our own standard. The problem here is stating this on a forum open to other people who might be future customers.
Was it truth or was it slanderous, one person against another.
No one won, and it destroyed a site that if it was as good as this one would be badly missed.
I think it is possible to complain without being offensive whether truth or not.
I saw a complaint on another site about a scrap yard up north and the guy was very offensive and said he felt like 'killing' the owners.
I thought this was a bit dodgy to print, and several people came back stating the scrapyard was very good. If the owners had taken offence then the forum could have been in the same situation, instead they merely issued a statement saying there had been a problem and it had been sorted.
People must be careful what they say, it would be disasterous lo lose this forum!

I haven't tried it but a mate with 3.0 Elite puts about £20 a month in and says it really makes a difference to performance. Its supposed to help clean the engine out.
