How do i get the mechanism out for the window , its held up with a block of wood at the minute "prev owner"
  its a manual window winder that we use our hands to operate  Pug 106 ...the bit im going to get is the thing with the cables attached to it but i need to get to the window to dismantle it i think

those things are hardly repairable.. you may end up with a new one

its says
 "just pull the handle away from the door. Put your fingers all the way round and lever it away. shouldn't take too much but be firm and constant with the pressure, and it will just pop off."   I'm their liar

This bit is the replacement

How to get to it and take out of the door 

Door card off for a start 
the strip at the top is going to bolt/screw to the glass & the winder fastens to the door by however means the old on is fastened.

I have had the door card off andy but cant get to the bottom of the window to get to any bolts  the winder is pop riveted so will need to drill them out . Just the bolts on the window , as its held up with wood block

Take the wood block out (carefully) and the window will move up and down

Looking at that part I'd say that the "bar" on it will probably be at the rear of the window instead of along the bottom with the glass sitting in the white plastic bit

you could be right

Me no understand  I think the best thing is to get a few pictures to explain , only other option i thought was to take the other door panel off and see how that is fixed . The trouble with the one in the broken one is the one cable has come off the metal bit and the other end of it broken on the winding mechanism  so wire is a mess and no way of telling how it should be routed 




The blue is the bottom of the window where the metal bar sits.

The red circled is the door winder which has a plastic grooved barrel thats snapped on the back of what you see.

The yellow is where the cable has come off the window .

Confused , i am

You need to replace the whole mechanism, not just the yellow bit. Don't try and take apart your 'new' mechanism just unbolt the complete unit including the metal bar...

Lower the window (as said) and then you should see a hole in the middle of the glass that the white plastic piece (on the mechanism) fits into. There should be a clip that pops off before you can remove the white bit.

Great that sounds like what i need to do , maybe you misread what i meant .. im going to get the whole unit as pictured . The current unit is beyond repair

+1 thats the way,just remember how you wiggle the complete mechanism out of the door aperature as that will be the way the replacement goes back in
