Bloody MV6, I need a match as well!

[TheBoy]

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.

Needless to say I blame RobG. My mum always said never to trust a Bristolian

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.

fronts are easy on Omega too . And Rover 25s

Never done a rear, but suspect it cant be that hard *IF* a can stay in tat position long enough...

[Darth Loo-knee]

I know where there are some of those too Tinkie

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.

Only ever seen 2 non functional windows on Omegas. Both on the inferior facelift model.
