i winded down my driver side window and it couldnt wind up anymore.. i removed my driver side door trim and test the relay.. when i try to wind down my window there is clicking sound coming from the relay but the window just wont wind up.. so i reckon its the motor which is spoilt? want to make sure before i buy anything wrong... and can anyone recomend me a place to get my window motor fix? hopefully near brisbane area would be good...

I had the same problem with my old S1, except that it would go up but not down. Annoying, but at least I could still drive my car around and leave it parked, unlike your situation!

Anyway there's a black box in the door that deals with the auto up/down. In mine there was a dry solder joint in that box. If you're confident you know what you're doing, pull the box apart and look for a bad connection at the base of one of the relays, and fix it with soldering iron and a bit of extra solder if required. A mate of mine sorted this out for me in 2002 or something, and it has never played up since.

it was earlier that that when you bought that car. :) late 99 from memory and it was somewhere in 2000-2001 where I fixed it.

the box is prone to vibration and that breaks the two relay that drive the motor off the board. its visible with the naked eye and once you see the 8 broken joints it will make sense. the plug is the other point of interest.

if you cannot fix it run it past and I will.

    • Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?
    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
