Hi everybody this is the first time I've asked for help, so I hope someone has an answer.
When changing the cable from the latch to internal door opener on the front passenger door (a pig of a job in itself) the window motor cable came off it's pulleys and I don't know which path the cable runs around the pulleys or where the window motors internal cable should be to start reassembly (up or down?). Has anyone experience of this problem, I'm going gaga and my right arm may even get stuck in that bloody access hole forever.

I had that happen with the LHR window regulator. I tried doing it in-situ and there's less space than on the front door! From memory I think I eventually got the regulator out and worked out the cable path.

The front regulator is far easier to take out so if you haven't already I suggest you get the regulator out and have a look to see if you can do it on the bench.

This might help you determine the right cable path. DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - Replacing door latch / window regulator - Now with guide (https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic33743.html?highlight=)

HTH.
