Maybe Helen could help you out?

Other than that the usual suspects I guess, steelroe & ricerocketuk, or the various breakers in NI/UK

[Muad_dib77]

Arh man!

That sucks!!!

I hope helen can help you with the bits... otherwise try Steelroe (Rory)
If he can't help you either I know a crowd in the UK that scrap ftos and sell the parts... cheap & friendly..

Also..if you want I have a radio I'd sell if you're interested..

Sony CDX-R3300

SSIR-EXA Tuner / ABC (Automatic Bandwidth Control), Station Presets: FM / MW / LW (18/6/6), BTM (Best Tuning Memory), RDS EON , CD: CD-R / CD-RW Playback capability, MP3 Playback capability, ID3 Tag (Track-- Artist-- Album name), CD Text, Frequency Response 10-20-000 Hz, Signal to Noise Ratio 120dB, Repeat / Shuffle, S-MOSFET output stage, Output Power (DIN 45324- 4 ohm) 4x 50W, MaxOutput Power (1kHz- 4 ohm) 4x 50W, EQ-3 (3 Band Equalizer), Pre-amp Output, MaxPre-amp output level 2V, Sub Output, Low Pass Filter, Sub Volume Control, Segment LCD.



Have been using it for about two years - so it's not new...but it's great..
Only reason I'm wanting to sell is that I've bought a double din dvd-yoke.

I'll let her go for 130e..

If Maud is selling you a stereo make sure its not a Soony or Paanasonic or some other import brand! lol

I NEED MY TUNES BACK, THE VOICES ARE TELLING ME TO BURN THINGS

[CByrne]

Same thing happened to me, I couldnt get it on the cheap and needed to sort it there and then, so ended up going to Mitsubishi, cost 350 in total

Westbrook Motors on Parnell St sorted it on the day, (01) 8744000.
Mind you they did say it was seemingly the only passenger window Mitsi had in the country so I was lucky they didnt have to order it in.

Hope you get sorted soon.

[mick_dont_surf]

got the window sorted out on the day
easy but expensive. cost €300
my delemna now is getting the radio
brackets, and console sorted
big gapping hole were it and the wee storage compartment
used to be.
i also need the trim that goes down around the gearstick too

[Dean]

A new window cost 300????

Sureley that cant be right.

[IrishGirl]

I actually have a 2nd hand passenger window, that I got of a guy up in Newry who is an FTO,GTO & Evo car breaker. Any parts that I need for my car I get them off him 2nd hand for a good price and I havent had a problem with any of his parts.

If you are able to leave that window back and get your money back, I can give you the window I have for €50 which is what I paid for it. Then if It needed to be posted, it just be whatever the postage cost was on top of that.

Or I can give you that guys number up in Newry if you wanted to try him directly yourself.

[agent s]

That sucks - sorry to hear that

Ah mate - that is FAR too expensive! Check out the services section on the main page...

Thats the going rate for a new window, I know of places that will charge you 150 for a second hand one.

if you could that would be great

€300 seems to be the going rate for the passenger window
was well surprised as several people
seemed to have the window in stock
or maybe its a cartell with only one window
dont really care, so long as its fixed

I assme you're talking about Brian @ the Mitsubishi Specialists, see the Services page

[RussMan]

I got a new window fitted about 6 months ago or so in a place out passed liffey valley .... or was it blanch. only cost 150 euro fitted IIRC.. It was a japanese import specialist...can't think of name at the moment. Anyone know what im talking about?

[IrishGirl]

Yep the guy is Brian @ the Mitsubishi Specialists. I think he is
brillant and very good for getting parts in a hurry.

[JD]

On a slightly different topic - I had a crack in my windscreen last year and was being quoted silly money for a new, or even second hand one by the jap parts people - by chance I asked an ordinary windscreen replacement shop in Finglas if they could do anything and he said no problem - they got a new windscreen in in a week and fitted it - all under my insurance, didn't cost me a cent. For future reference If you have window/windscreen cover it might be worth while asking the normal windscreen replacement shops.

Was that the place in in Janelle JD?

Mick, try Jap Autospares in Ashbourne (see Services Page), they'll most likely have one but they can be a bit pricey.
