Title: Window bushing for a 2003 DII
Post by: bumpydormobile on August 22, 2016, 06:18 PM
Does anyone know where to get one of these plastic bushings? or have a part number.
It keeps the arm in the metal track at the bottom. 

Also...two of my doors will lock with the remote but not unlock, you have to open using the handle from the inside. >:(
Anyone with a fix?
Why did I buy one of these?...

Thanks
David

Odds are you have to replace the window actuator as I don't believe the wheels are separate from the scissors mechanism.   But I could be wrong....

This is the unit for the front right window  http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/CUH102300 (http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/CUH102300)

They are dirt cheap  ;)

Your idea of Dirt cheap is different than mine...$99. US for a plastic bushing!!!

I recall that the parts yard on 50 Street and Argyl used to have two discos for parts. They seperated it for you. Might save few dollars on the actuators and door locks.

Yep, that's a complete actuator replacement if you are looking to buy new. I've had the same component fail.

Unfortunately modern cars are not designed to be repaired.  You replace assemblies.

On the positive side there is this guy around here that can buy parts really cheaply.

There are repair parts available. I've not tried these personally but forum threads I've read on the subject are positive.
At around $15 US for a set they are cheap enough to be worth a try.

Hope that helps.

Would make sense if the regulators were not so cheap....  http://www.paddockspares.com/regulator-front.html  Bill would not say "dirt cheap" and not mean it.  He is a frugal man   ;D

Wow, that really is dirt cheap! In fact dirt may be more expensive than a new regulator.
Crazy.
