Thank you peat , so I will need the whole window regulator? Is they a best place to get one from ? 

Dunno mate, there are repair kits you can buy, but never tried one. 

 

Its only £35 ish for the whole thing on Ebay but am not sure on the quality

Any had any luck with those,? 

Same happened to me . Cable came loose and wrapped itself around motor drive mechanism. Bit of a hassle to remove but managed eventually. I got a repair kit from ebay and fitted it. It was one that didn't come with the steel door card. Not too bad a job but my steel door panel was riveted so had to drill them out. You need special rivets which are pretty heavy duty tto attach the metal plate to the door From memory they are 6.4 x 10 and have circular cut outs along the rivets. Normal are I think 6.2 and dont give a decent hold. I had to get a heavy duty double handed pop rivet gun to do the job as my lazzy riveter didnt have the larger end nozzle. Some of the early ones had bolts but mine was riveted.  Sorry cant access ebay at moment to send you any links.

Meant to add that if its just the plastic wheels etc you can get them individually but I just replaced the whole unit as mine had totalled itself

Just had the door card off and a quick look mine is also riveted,  and looks like the cables have all tangled around the motor,  I will order one off Ebay and hope for the best with it I think

Its a bit fiddly especially where the door lock mechanism fits through the plate . I watched a you tube vid. They removed cables etc from door but I managed to work around that. As said rivets are H duty I got this from toolstation for £20-00 and it did the job perfectly. Rivets I think are N91078801 

The ones I used are I think https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174121630690?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5339017974&toolid=10049&customid=Cj0KCQiArby5BhCDARIsAIJvjISKJ7ZJ4GU8k2wH5Lg5ozSagk2Qo6iVb6zbzR36UTCjtlFc3dwWdLEaAlxYEALw_wcB&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiArby5BhCDARIsAIJvjISKJ7ZJ4GU8k2wH5Lg5ozSagk2Qo6iVb6zbzR36UTCjtlFc3dwWdLEaAlxYEALw_wcB

Well done. Mine dropped completely and had to drive 30 miles in subzero with slush all the way home. They never fail in the summer.
