OK my new X19 has arrived but of course I have some problems:)
The windows are very slow to go down and forever to raise
head lights are slow and dim as well
Wipers are slow ( new motor fitted but still slow)

Sounds like an earthing problem to me and if this is the case where are the earths?

Of course it might be a problem with all of them.

Thanks
Will

They're more commonly known as earth trees.Try to imagine a washer about 20mm diameter and round the edge there 's a lot of vertical terminals.the tree is earthed to the bodywork with a screw and any number of earths can be connected.
