Hi Can anyone help? started working my way through faults on my rado and need some advice.I have a drivers side electric window that takes an eternity to close.I popped the door panel off and the motor unit looks very complicated.does the unit come as a whole thing with all the cables or is it possible to just attach a new motor?The other thing was neither of my electric mirrors work.I checked the fuse and this appears to be intact.Is it common for the switch itself to fail Great car but some of the little faults are quite niggly

 

 

Thanks very much

Tony Jenkins

With regards to the electric mirrors - is it an early (square) or late (round) one? The late ones often fail, and the switch can be taken apart and the electrical contacts cleaned as they corrode. It has been addressed many times and if you use the search it will bring that up. Not sure if the early ones fail as often, and I've never taken an early one apart so don't know how easy that is.

 

For the windows, AFAIK the unit is all one thing, but if you are happy drilling out some rivets then the motor can be replaced. First thing to try is greasing/lubing the edges of the glass - seems to work for some people. Otherwise it may have popped out of a runner at the edge. Again try the search, as there are loads of threads on the window problems.

 

And yes, they have their fair share of niggly faults :?
