New owner with some issues

Postby connercole » Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:13 pm

Hi I recently purchased a FTO GPX and i think its great, I do have some niggles and was hoping you guys could help

1, My drivers window goes down then drops and is a hasstle to get back up, (Im thinking i need a replacement electric window moter as im guessing the cogs are bust on mine)
2, I have wat looks like a facelift bumper fitted, The outer holes have sort of angel eye sidelights with indecators on the middle, The inner hole is just meshed. One is bust is this aftermarket, does anyone know where i can get one ?
3, My speedo randomly drops to 0mph for a few mins

Thanks in advance

welcome , can you put up a pic with your car?

and to reply to your q's
1/ it's very easy to remove the door cards , take it out and see what happens inside .
If you need replacement bits post a thread in the For Sale section there's a couple of guys with parts on the forum

2/facelift bumpers may come with/without fog lights . they go in the inner small holes.
the outer holes are used for the indicators .

the sidelights are usualy in the main front cluster on a facelift .

That's a prefacelift bumper with fibreglass pods blended in for the lights.
Looks better than the facelift in my opinion.

That bumper is surprisingly nice, sans angel eyes of course.
