Obviously a lot easier to replace the whole unit, but at what ££££?
Saw kit in Ebay 2-3 days ago using stainless wires and crimped fasteners for £19.95, together with full fitting instructions. Not difficult if you take your time.

Just put a complete assembly in.
I got a kit for the drivers door, waste of money! The problem was a seized roller causing the cable to jump off.

Hmmm, I'd love to see the instructions, bought a kit off Fleabay and got zippo!
Hi BTW! First post here
Cheers

hi, just replaced my tailgate cables but think the motor may be broken. When I press the button to drop the window the motor winds it all the way down and wont stop. When I press the button to raise the window nothing at all happens. Does this sound like a motor fault or electrical? cheers pascal
ps the ebay kits do work but make sure you get the ready assembled ones or you end up having to glue bits together!

Have you recalibrated your window? Sounds as though youmay not have done.
The control unit needs to know the position of the rear window glass for safe operation. If you have problems with operation of the rear window it might be worth trying this procedure.
1. Disarm the anti-theft alarm system.
2. Disconnect the vehicle battery.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Reconnect the vehicle battery.
5. The CCU will now drive the tail door window to the fully lowered position.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the 'ignition' position.
7. Press and hold the tail door window switch in the 'Up' position until the window has reached the fully closed position.
8. The tail door window should now be calibrated. If calibration has failed, a warning buzzer will sound.
