    Are the windows guides tight, does the motor sound like it is working harder than normal??

    ok i will try that, but the motor doesnt sound any different, just slower, like ,its not getting enough power.

    i was wondering if the regulator is shagged or can be adjusted

    also alot of it is to with the power supply.
    the control pad in the centre console is common to collect dirt under the buttons and cause resistance in the conection of the button termnials and reduce the power getting though.
    meaning lack of power to push the motor.

    someone on calaisturbo cleans the centre console buttons at a charge and apparently the speed diffrence is amazing

    yea, trouble with that is that its a new switch, cos she pushed the buttons too hard and couldnt be gentle with the repairs i made to the old switch.
