  1. right, little rant here,



    i am fed up seeing wants for window motors when all it takes is some wd40 and a good wire brush.



    9 times out of 10 the window slows down, and then eventually stops working.



    (this is me coming from my experience)



    taking the door card off i plugged the window switch back in and found the motor was wanting to turn, but nothing going up or down. so i carried on to take the window motor apart, to find the window runner looked like i had dragged it out of the bottom of the ocean and the little gear from the motor looked like its twin, lol.

    so with a wire brush, plenty of wd40 and then some grease

    slapped a load of copper grease in the runner, put it all back together and its still running sweet as a nut.



    im sorry if the motor has actually packed in, but atleast try to look at the problem before spending money and a part that can be revived and cost nothing but time to sort.



    and i know i asked for a window motor, but i didnt get it because i had no money, so thats why i stripped it.



    rant over (and sorry if not in the rite section)

    was going to go pro street with it (might do at a later date yet) but for now was thinking of going either 4age or redtop and type 9, anglia 105 back axle and escort front suspension. i have got an 8x4 sheet of plate on order and wouldnt mind gettn a move on with it soon.



    i like both comfy and hot rod look, as a daily the zetec would be ideal, although the yank v8's would be better the fuel bill for it would be silly.



    keep this updated, nice to see how you get on. :thumbsup:


  3. i would say ditch the boost controller and try again, if the spring was fucked then it wouldnt have any more than 0.8 all the way through, it would just open at that all the time because thats all the spring can handle. take the ewg apart and make sure the diaphram isnt split by being caught in the lid when it was closed up (i caught mine but thankfully didnt split)
