Default Grrrr....window mechanisms!

That’s the third one that I’ve had to get replaced.

My daily shed - Connie diesel tractor in royal blue (223k) had its front passenger side window mechanism replaced. A few months ago after the window stopped working. Another one of my 75 fleets then had the same problem shortly after, this time front drivers side window cable had broken. And now, my daily shed again...took the car in for its MOT today and the MOT man went to open the rear drivers side door, and the window just fell down. he tried to grab it in time but couldn’t get hold of it. He doesn’t think it’s broken as he didn’t hear it smash. Just drop. So, now my window is open and won’t shut. So, the car won’t be going anywhere for a couple of days now...
A quick message to my main spares man Mickey boy ensures a replacement is on its way which will be fitted very soon....
So, that’s now three in the space of a few months. I’m now taking bets for the next one to fail...

There's nothing like going for the full set Rav! unlucky, but think of the knowledge you are gaining.

It’s just a matter of time for the other two windows!
I should scrap this car but can’t help it. She amuses me with her issues...

We will get this sorted mate, at least rear ones are easier to replace than drivers front
