Well, i have good news and bad.
Bad news is no How-To yet,
Bad news is the repair kit was the wrong one,
Good news is i have temporarily fixed my window.
I had to completely dismantle it, strip back the broken wires to the ferrules (the bits that go in the pulley, and the slides) then re-assemble the lot.
There is a little trick with the main pulley, and it is a little fiddly, but it is more than do-able by any one who can manage to get the window regulator out.
Once my NEW repair kit arrives, i will post a how to, on how to completely re-wire the regulator.
I had it in and out with in a few hours, and this included 1 coffee break, and 1 cigarette break. so without those including the repairs to the wires, it can be done in about an hours work.
