I am researching the replacement of my 16 year old mechanism and have discovered that there are up to 3 expensive bits involved:-
1 Linkage £76.20 A1248200341/241
2 Gearing £645.60 A1248202307/507/607
3 Motor £174.00 A1248200708/808
My question is whether there are any differences between parts ending 708/808 for example or if these parts are just the same but different revisions (as I imagine improvements might be made ever so often but the functionality of the part and how it attaches to the rest of the car remain unchanged.
If I can be confident about this then I could mail order a spare "gearing" from germany for EUR150 or get one in the UK for up to GBP250.
I am going to try to remove the cover this weekend using the parrot-of-doom thread to look inside.
