Coming up to 5 years of owning our little XR4...
Been a gem up until last week... One of the power windows has let go. Pulled the trim off to have a look, and the cog on the motor has broken. It looks be to held on with a cir clip - can I get a replacement cog somewhere, or am I up for a new motor? Anyone able to give me on a local lead - not keen on ordering from to UK as the car is now taking up space in the garage forcing me to leave my GTI on the street...  Also, noticed a drop of oil on the garage floor since the car has been in there - here is a photo? Any ideas? Had the car 5 years, but not familiar on the geography under the bonnet/car. A lot more going on there compared to my old Fairmont.....

To fix power window motor,just get a replacement from wreckers,make sure its from a 2 door as 4 door motor is different or see if anyone is wrecking an XR4 on XR4.com.Oil leak is coming from around gearbox,that black plastic dust cover just un clips,so remove it and see whether it is coming from filler plug(black allen key bolt) or from silver selector interlock bolt behind it,or from somewhere else.May even be leaking from the reverse switch(shown in your photo with the yellow wire coming from it).Wipe area clean and go for a short drive,and you should be able to see where it is leaking from.

Got the window sorted - found a motor on XR4.com (luckily).. Ford wanted $300+ for a new one. Thanks for the advice re: leak. If it is indeed coming from one of the bolts, hopefully i can just nip it up.
