It could either be: Windows not set, try winding windows up and down to there full extent a few times untill the car is happy and the warning stops. or The window actuator bars are worn out, this is pretty common on older cars, the bars are made of pressed steel and the geared teeth that...

Not sure if you have seen my info about the psi powerbox? I would just say be very carefull if you get one. I found it all too easy after I fitted mine to see off 4.6's etc but then popped the cylinder head, the straight 6 has a very long head and the higher pressures in the cylinders can lift...
