Can anybody help here? I've got a W-reg Renault Scenic 1.6 RT (year 2000 model) with a broken window regulator on the driver's door. As you might imagine, the local Renault dealer wants an arm and a leg (£250 ) for a new one so I followed the advice given in an earlier thread on the same subject and looked around.
Yes, I can get one for one fifth of that price but - and here's the catch - it's for a car without the comfort function. After an extensive on-line chat with a very helpful chap on the supplier's website, I established that the comfort function allows you to raise and lower the window with a single flick of the switch. This is a feature I can live without on a twelve year old car. The motor connections are different - two wires instead of the original two-pin connector - but I can get around that easily enough, even if it means using the motor from the old one. (That bit still works. The cable and drum got chewed up after one of the plastic ends broke off the slide rail.) What I can't easily do is modify the fixings if the non-comfort regulator doesn't mechanically fit.
The helpful chap wasn't prepared to commit himself to that level of detail, which is fair enough. Has anybody else been in this situation?
