The mention of a fix for slow electric windows caught my eye - Glen can you
past your fix
s-l-o-w-l-y for all us non-auto sparkies ?
Interesting that the buyers guide on mx5s on Top Gear suggested that slow
electric windows indicated replacement of motor was due !

IAM NOT SHOUTING , JUST LAZY!!

OK, FIRST THING IS TO REMOVE THE CENTER CONSUL AND REMOVE THE WINDOW SWITCH.
THEN PRY THE SWITCH APART AND CLEAN THE CONTACTS UP. NOTE THE LITTLE CONTACT
ROCKERS ONLY GO IN ONE WAY. THIS ALONE WILL SPEED THINGS UP. IF YOU NEED
MORE POWER (AND WE ALL DO) GO TO A WRECKER AND BUY A WINDOW RELAY SET FOR A
LATE MODEL 626 (I USED A 97 MODEL) AND WIRE THAT INTO THE PLUG BY THE GEAR
LEVER.

IF THIS IS TOO DIFF, THEN TAKE THE RELAY SWITCH (AND THE CAR ) TO AN AUTO
SPARKY AND GET HIM TO DO IT.

THERE IS ALSO AFTER MARKET RELAY SETS YOU CAN BUY.
MY WINDOWS WOULD CHOP YOUR ARM OFF THEY ARE SO QUICK!!!
