Passenger side now working spot on, with the same relay bypass method.

eBay intercooler still going strong

Take out the glovebox and there's a grommet behind it. Comes out by the abs pump in the engine bay.

Solution

Passenger side to do next. The only thing that i would like to add is some kind of end of travel detection. But having working windows after not being able to open a window for 3 months is amazing.

If you have tried replacing every part on your electric window system and still no luck?, well i decided to bypass it altogether. Start by bypassing the motor relay inside the housing (6 clips to undo) cut the legs so they no longer connect the relay. Then run two wires from the power/ground in to the motor connecter below the relay. The motor power and ground are the thicker end wires on the plug (drivers side) . (Red/white stripe positive) (Brown ground) Then wire your chosen dpdt window switch pictured below. Now you will have working windows. You wont have auto up/down or end of travel detection, but you will have windows that go up and down via a switch. https://photos.app.goo.gl/9rXrfv4TaeX9joqL8 Credit to Wino, Ferrit

Don't pay those outrageous (i saw you coming so...) Prices. Just some good quality silicon sealant from b&q will do the job. Take off the door card and apply it over the original foam seal. Plenty of YouTube tutorials.

I wouldn't like to go too big, without looking at the master cylinder. I don't know if a bigger one is available to swap in on the mk1 Fabia.

Its worth replacing if you plan on keeping the car

I bypassed the relay so will get power direct to motor. Just waiting on some more bits from china.

I reused the bolts for the oil filter housing, just new gasket. No coolant or oil leaks at all. You will need an M10 male spline drive and an 8mm allen if you're changing the coolant pipe.

The lift off oversteer is pretty fun at low speed, if you bring it on yourself.

Ill be removing the oil filter housing today and refitted the coolant pipe. Just make sure both matting surfaces are clean before the new gasket goes on.

Can confirm oil filter housing will have to come off if you need to replace the coolant pipe. Mine was held together by dust.
