tailgate motor cogs

[Mr Malleenos]

The cogs on my tailgate window motor are completely worn, has anyone got a blow motor and not thrown away the unit and the cogs are ok? If not the full unit....

[budweiser]

explain a bit more what you need, some pics of what you mean?

got some, but need to know what exactly you mean, thanks

[Mr Malleenos]

That's the bu@@er, teeth on the motor are just too worn to add a washer for a little extra life...

ahhh, I did mean "blown" motor!

[budweiser]

i will get back to you by the weekend (just really busy right now) thanks

[Mr Malleenos]

Hi Budweiser, I just ordered an MR2 MK2 window mechanism off e-bay for 20 quid. Hopefully the motor will fit. I'm still interested in fixing the old one anyway...

That looks like it could be the cog. I haven't dismantled the motor yet. If you still have my address bung it in the post and I'll see if it all fits together. I can't email you now because I've got no access to a real computer right now and I'm better at mechanics than smartphones!

[budweiser]

when you can, remind me your adress

[Mr Malleenos]

Hey Budweiser, sorry mate, I'm away still and can't access my e-mail. Some kind of security thing wants to text me a code and I have no signal!
I did aready order a rear left window motor from an MR2 MK2 which apparently fits but it'll still be interesting to try and fix the old motor anyway. I'll get back to you soon as I can.

[budweiser]

ok, no problem.

[Mr Malleenos]

I replaced motor with one from an mr2 mk2 and it was exactly the same unit except for a few numbers on the back. Just had to snip the plugs and swop them 'round. £20 off ebay, not bad compared to the surf tailgate motor prices!
Budweiser I sent you my address again and I can see if I can fix up the old one with the new cogs - always good to have a spare.

[budweiser]

sorry on delay on answering. it posted this morning

[Mr Malleenos]

Nice one, I'll let you know how the cog-fix goes

[Mr Malleenos]

The cog just arrived! Thank you! You're a credit to this proper helpful forum.
I'll post up pics of the restoration attempt and send you some beer tokens
