Drivers window regulator/ cable replacement

[tommyboy40]

Hi all, my drivers window appears to have snapped a steel cable. motor is good but no movement. I've removed the door card and found that the cable is indeed broken. Is there a kit available or how much will I need to replace to fix this? Cheers in advance

I have seen the replacement cables on eBay, how much of an ordeal is it to with one?

I've usually found the cables snap because of another problem within the regulator itself. Its best to replace the regulator.

Or it could be the window seal is out of shape and putting extra pressure on the regulator? 

I would start by finding what has caused the cable to snap in the first place.

Might be better to replace the regulator too as per David's suggestion.
