    I'm Sorry, we don't sell that as a separate!

    Ever heard that???

    My Electric window regulator was in perfect nick except for the ten cent piece sized plastic runner that had split in two!

    Thanks for coming.. a whole new mechanism of about five chunks of metal NOT including the motor was $260 just for the teensy weensy bit O placky!

    Why did it break at just 60K ?

    WHY WHY WHY

    Yep, someone used a sliding door plastic/nylon roller to good effect. Also had a proper race bearing fitted in it.

    But I agree with what you say.

    I broke the muffler on the SLS suspension for the D2. It is just a small plastic cylinder. Sorry we dont sell that seperately, you have to buy the entire kit with all hoses/pipes and fittings.

    OH AULRO.... If it aint here, it aint worth knowing.

    I was in the position that my Landy MUST BE PERFECT AT ALL TIMES and since I had limited time I just went down and bought the new bit, but What I am going to do is fix the old one and then in another 60k when it caks itself I will have the right thing ready to rumble. Also be practiced at the repair with door rollers on hand.

    Somehow blowing money on the landy doesn't seem like a waste. Now each time the perfect window goes up and down i think to myself, Ian, you are a genius. It's something the owners of reliable cars will never understand!



    Thanks to all repliers,

    I remember when I was unlucky enough to have a VN Conformodore the wiring plug for the voltage regulator packed it in. I went to Holden and they told me "sorry, don't sell the plug, but we can sell you a new loom."

    Um, NO!

    As said MrA,

    and getting stuff custom made is not great drama - or adapt from another -

    you may remember Matti, in Crows Nest, who made 10 metre long jib arms - which were sooo perfect... he was also very handy at eyeballing anything broken and milling up a new one - did so many times for me - there must be others in this world with such abilities.......

    Who did you ring for that price, that is the retail,
    I have the brit off road receipt in my hands rec ret is 210 and total price is 125 then add gst and freight came to 154
    btw the repair thread is for the rear window it does not, repeat does not work for the front windows. the rear doesn't have a scissor lift
    Why , because i tried it, the wheels are too wide for the channel, the attaching bolts are too long and no matter how much you grind off the bolts it still fouls the scissor lift, i tried grinding the sides down on the rollers that doesn;t work either as the channel is narrow and the rollers are plastic over a steel bearing, the plastic comes off.
    seeing you bought the new bit already, did it have the newer square blocks on it?

    Friends daughter hada 1994 Honda car which developed a rolling miss, eventually traced to a badly worn bearing in distributor. Bearing Service Co. advised that number is not available, unique to Honda Motor Co. Honda dealer says not serviced, buy distributor assembly $750. Out with micrometers and BSC catalogue to find a standard bearing same thickness and o/d but 0.4mm smaller in inner diameter, $3.25. Set-up in lathe, with flexible shaft die grinder head and diamond point in the toolpost, and presto, savings of $746.75 less cost of beer consumed.
