Hi yes it does . first make yourself a tool that will remove the window switch ( i use a small teaspoon with the handle bent at about 15mm from the end). at the bottom of the door under the rubber there are three screws (remove) look underneath the door armrest there is one screw ( remove)use the tool you have made and slip the bent end under the rear of the door window switch panel and pull up ( it might be a little tough but it will come ) inside you will see a screw (remove). use tool again and pull the door as if you are opening it put tool under front of the panel and pull it will come off and you will see another screw (remove) .there is one more screw at the front of the door panel in the hole where the air for the window demisting goes into the door . now grab each side of the panel at the bottom and give it a sharp pull the poppers will release and the panel is off next you need to remove the plastic window trim from around the edge of the window

look for the small plastic push in fixers at each end and remove them then at the rear end of the door and only with your hands at the inner edge by the glass channel pull the trim away by sort of pulling and rolling the trim away at the same time job done . hope that helps . i belive it might be possible to sent the manual via skype . might take a little time but well worth it and might save you mint in the future . let me know if you wish to try Regards Roy

Hi i to have this problem on my 2002 and have taken it have taken it apart to grease and found that there was plenty there already never the less i cleaned and regreased the screw mech but still had the same problem so so can only assume that the motor is tired ( bit like a lazy starter motor) and the only course of action is to replace it as the motor is a sealed unit and you cant do anything to it :cries: regards Roy

Would really appriciate any advice from those of you who might have come across this problem

I understand this is a common issue - my '03 LS430 has the telescopic steering motor that moves the steering wheel toward the driver on ignition and pulls away when the car is switched off.

The motor IS still working, however I am having to gently apply pressure to the wheel whilst using the manual control switch on the side to push it away or pull it out.

I can identify which motor the telescopic one is, but VERY nervous of disassembling to remove so that I can check over the gears and apply lubrication... I don't want to leave it in the current state as I'm pretty sure the motor will burn out before long due to the excessive pressure....

It seems to be linked/connected to the steering column itself where as the tilt motor can be repaired / disassembled without pulling the column apart.

Can any of you offer any advice ??

Many thanks,

Nick
