If anybody is in need rear electric window regulators, as in oem type, not generics, are easily available in the uk. These are just the mechanisms and motors, no cable or switches etc. They are the same as the w460 into w463 type, up until model year 2001 when they went to a Bowden cable design. They are available as a Valeo or Lucas product. There is a guy selling them on ebay, but he is only offering left side units but if you contact him he can do rights as well. I have bought from him coz he has them in stock unlike my local Lucas/Valeo dealer. He has them up for 104 each on a buy it now but will accept a fraction less on a best offer. he was therefore a quicker delivery and a bit cheaper than my local agent including postage. The quotes were Valeo 82 Lucas 90, both plus that bastard governmental 20% tax thing! I should get them early next week I will let everyone know. the part numbers for Lucas are WRL 1285L or R for the other side! I had an old stock set of fronts lying around so just dropped those in so haven't really pusued the options for front unit, but Lucas don't list a front option. Go figure.

Re: Rear electric window regulators

Useful information. Thank you.

 

But you know the Lucas brand name was sold some time ago to TRW and is now licensed  to a UK company marketing aftermarket automotive items, mostly from China? Valero is of course French,. And I think the original parts were Bosch ?
