I've had the cable snap in my mechanism 3 weeks ago. Thought about repairing it but its near damn impossible so I just searched for a whole new electric window mechanism. £30 later my window is once again working top notch :D

Cheers Mig,Ebay/breakers here i come,Kinghams wanted £103.41 plus vat [:@] so £120 all in,i don't think so somehow. Told me i had to change the whole mechanism,no other option,what a f****r they get you one way or another!!!

Same happened to me 2 weeks apart on each window! - got 2 2nd hand mechs fitted for £100 - few good places in Bristol worth a try - might be a bit far to come tho'
