Hey, my windows on the drivers side stopped working and the rear door didnt lock, so after some digging, i found the wires to be broken in both doors, now ive been searching like a mad man for new looms on the net, with the dealer its ~300 pound for both looms, is there any place that sells new one cheaper ?

 

thanks

I think I'd gamble with good condition used ones and make sure they're fully protected before install.

My thinking was not risking buying seccond hand in case they break after few months, but could try finding late model mk1 ones, do you know if all the mk1 looms are the same on the vrs ? from what 2001-2004 ?

I can get you two good door looms, but not for a little while.  They'll be fully checked to ensure no breakages where they tend to go inside the door rubber in the door shut.

I think they're the same as long as central locking and electric mirrors and windows.

Jason there can be a dodgy spot where they pass the regulator as well.

Thanks.  I'd check over whole thing.  I also gather moisture can get in the plug for the motor and cause issues.

Indeed, check for scabby connectors. Frightfully common

hmm, that might do the trick, send me a pm when it would be available and the price posted to iceland and il think it over if i cant get any local

 

thanks for the input guys

It's not too bad Jason, I sent siggik some stuff by carrier pigeon, wasn't too expensive.
