...I need a new window motor and regulator for my '99 E300 TD.
Have tried Euro Car parts... they want over £200.
Any ideas?
Was thinking/ hoping there may be used part specialist around somewhere?

Thanks

I know this might sound strange but mine was broken the other week, and a good mechanic friend said there was very very little could go wrong with them, so he stripped my door card off, and held the switch down and constantly tapped the motor with a small hammer and it just sprang back into life. He wound it up and down several times while still hitting it with the hammer, and good as new ever since, just might save you a few quid if you haven't done this.
