Title: Bloody MV6, I need a match as well!
Post by: TheBoy on 30 May 2012, 18:19:40
Well, not the MV6's fault. Friggin', crappy, useless, poorly made, shitty horrible facelift doors that are fitted  >:(.

Of all the times it could have chosen, grrrrrr  >:(

Gonna need some bits by the weekend. Thats going to be a tall order on a Wednesday night now.

Cock, and double cock.

I've just replaced both the front regulators on the Beemer (common fault), the only saving grace was they cost £48 each for the replacement and took less than an hour to fit for both sides.

If you think they're bad, don't buy a Golf. Or any of it's clones. Window regulators fail regularly. The roadside 'fix' is to remove the doorcard, prop the glass in the up position, and jam it in place with several paper wedges.I've done dozens of these.
 The replacement comes a sealed unit that is 'simply' bolted in place.

Although, front or rear, as its from the alledged inferior model, you won't want it anyway. :)

I have rear doors from a facelift here, but can't remember if they're electric windows or from a V6 Special. I'll check.
