Nope, it's Elan specific.
However it's very similar to Peugeot 406 I believe.
It's rare that the window motor just breaks.
It's more likely to either:
1) jam when the sliders need greasing, or
2) fray and eventually snap the cable.
1) is a very easy fix and should be almost considered annual maintenance.
2) is more complicated but do-able, and cost me about a fiver in parts and a couple of hours work per door.
You need to get your door trim panel off and find out which it is.

My O/S motor is starting to motor slowly. Are there any guides to greasing the slides?

Yes - dont use grease!
Use a teflon type spray as grease will hold dirt and grit etc.

or

or even

I guess you clean the slide with an anti grease product like methanol then apply spray??

I seem to remember seeing a link to a site selling the red clips for the door locks, can't find it, any clues?
Cheers.

www.sjsportscars.co.uk
a quick search on the site shows the following information:-
Body & Trim | Doors
DOOR LOCK BUTTON RED CLIP SJ100B0010 EACH 0.72
by the time you pay the standard P&P you would be better off buying a few and selling them on here for a quid a go - delivered by Royal mail for the cost of a stamp!!!!!! (excess funds to LEC kitty??)

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
