Hi,

1st time on this forum but i have had very good experiances from similar forums for my previous cars and bikes.

Just bought a 1.9 SDI classic and it doesn't have central locking or electric windows is it possible to buy these parts and fit them? is the wiring loom already there just needs plugging in?

Any help would be appreciated.

I have looked at this, well fitting central locking anyway, and the kit was about £30.. the labour was going to be about 5 hours per door! you need to run cables all the way from each door to the front dash under the steering wheel probably.

I am going to ring up some auto electricians and get some quotes for them fitting it.. I shall post back when I know!

No wiring there allready, everything will need to be fitted.

I rang up a couple of places today and one quoted £225 fitted inc. VAT and all parts

another place quoted £160-200 fitting inc. VAT but you supply the kit.

Rough idea of costs there.. In my case I think that money would go much better on a nicer sound system.. and some Damplifier!

I fitted remote central locking

myself, the kit was less than £40 posted from ebay. Once you have figured out how to get all the trim off then it is a fairly easy job, the instructions that came with mine were perfectly adequete (its just plug and play really, just need to mound the actuators correctly).

If your going to do the rear doors aswell then you will be better off buying some of them rubber hose things that go in between the door and main body for the cables to run through (you will know what i mean, your front doors already have them). It cost me about £4.80 inc VAT for 2.

I was looking at fitting electric windows, i thought of getting 2 window motors from a fabia at a breakers, getting the switches for the doors and fitting them (rather than retro-fitting an aftermarket kit). But i don't know how hard the wiring would be (whether its just a case of wiring it into an existing plug on the ECU or not). Maybe someone could shed some light on this.

Thanks

Matt

cheers matt

that is exactly what i was wondering about the electric windows.

Has anybody else done this?
