Help - cant get hold of n/s window motor

Hi All,
Wondering if someone on here can help.
My n/s window motor has stripped the stupidly designed plastic gear inside mechanism. Strange, I pulled it apart (the sealed section) & it was full of sawdust - definitely not plastic, it's definitely saw dust.
Anyhow, no wreckers (breakers), want to send one to Australia. I am after 2 motors (one as spare), I know they are normally sold as a unit (motor & regulator), however regulator is fine & would only add to postage cost. Having said that if someone can help, I will accept the added postage for motor & reg. Can anyone help?

A solution

Hunting around wreckers (Breakers) over here & found the window motors on the f & tf are the same as those used in VT commodores albeit the n/s motor on the MG is the o/s motor in the commodores.
NB: motor only, regulator is totally different.

Hope this helps those of us south of the equator (& apparently some of these cars were shipped to SAE & the US).

Just had the same thing on my MGF.
The plug and the wiring colours are different, the VT Commodore has red and blue wires on the winder motor, where as the MGF winder motor has orange/red and blue/red wires.
So I cut off the plugs from the winder motors and swapped them over, the orange/red connects to the blue and the blue/red to the red.
