Default Cheap fix for electric windows found

after much searching I managed to find a supplier who sells the plastic blocks that tend to break easily especially in hot weather. I was a bit sceptical as to whether the quaity would be ok or not. But I was nicely surprised when the parts arrived to find that they fitted perfectly. My biggest problem was getting the inside door panel off. I managed to fix the window mechnisn in 45 minutes and it works just like new strange that these sort of problems are so common in an expensive car.

You haven't put the details of your car in your profile. It sounds like you have the early kind of car, before the changes (2002.5MY) that fixed what you refer to.

You are right Emma is V6 built in 2000 with nearly all the extras . She's got 210,000 km on the clock but still looks adorable.

At age 10 years, it's not very surprising there are a few common faults

Well done finding a supplier of the parts.... it may help others if you post the details.
