    They're very easy if you have even a basic ability to use tools. I got one off ebay and had the drivers door done on my van in about 25 mins (got distracted and ever done the passenger side :) but sure I never use that side anyway)

    Got a kit off ebay last year and got it fitted by an auto-electrician in Kilkenny for €80.

    Very happy with it so far, the make is Scorpion by the way.

    The wiring side of it is fairly simple with the kits, +12,-ground, and colour to colour on the actuators.The fiddly part depending on the car is where to mount the actuators in the doors to make sure there clear of the door card or window itself

    Did one once, about 15 yrs ago, worked for a while but ended up a complete disaster, avoid would be my recommendation.

    it's all down to the fitting, if you can mount the actuator body securely on the door, keep the connectong rods straight and strong, and join the rod from the actuator to the right part of the door mechanism, and at the same time, not make a balls of the wiring, then you're not going to have problems. the most difficult bit is deciding where to mount the actuators so that the door trim doesn't impede the movement of the connecting rods.
