how much Kim?

sorry, I don't remember, it was a few years ago, was cheap though, I got it because I got sick of trying to find somebody with key blanks to cut a spare key - funnily enough as it turned out that was because my car already had the Brazil switch - & the key profile is different - so that is the downside - cheap & good but the 2 keys you get with it are probably the only 2 keys you will ever have for it

Cool, thanks for that
PS: my driver's side window regulator of crapping itself at the moment too! So THIS is what it sounds like when doves cry... 🙂

I "fixed" my regulator by doing a cut & shut & putting a gear from a Humber Super Snipe in there & bolting it back together where it was originally riveted, & crossed my fingers, it was a temp fix, that was 4 years ago & it still working

nice nice!
I got a feeling I'll need to do a jungle-fix on mine too... hopefully it'll be simply the window-surround felt that's too tight and the regulator will magically work when I replace that 🥷
