Thanks for that Kev, will check it out tomorrow. Assuming I have the right wiring we will be good to go!

That is a very good point!
Happened with me and my mk1!

Rather than go to the trouble of removing the centre console to check for the two coloured plugs, an easier way is to peel back the black rubber tube that houses the rear door loom.
The tube goes from the B post to the rear door body. Peel it back. If you've got 5 wires in there, your car is pre-wired for rear electric windows, if you've only got 2 wires (these will be the central locking wires), then the loom isn't in place.
Of course, the looms for inside of the rear doors are still required, regardless of whether the car is pre-wired or not.

Well had a quick look as Ive not had much time today but if I look into the handbrake casing I can see a brown connector which doesn't look like its plugged into anything. I check the cables into the door (thanks red robbo) and I have 5 wires so I think I'm good to go?

Skillen....no rush just PM when your sorted and will arrange payment, delivery address etc

Yep, 5 wires = plug and play

but not impossible, however I would recomend getting all the wirring from the fusebox yourself from a scrap car so you understand how it goes.
