Because you can roll the car knowing that you will only have a large repair bill?

Had the driver's side window regulator break this morning due to ice 'grip'
Not impressed, looks a ball ache to fix too?

On one of the ‘modern’s’ Boxster or 911?

I am guessing the Boxster because the window drops on lifting the door handle.
They are not terrible to do Graham - it is a common problem, careful strip down is the main thing. There are lots of cheap ones available but given it is a known issue I cannot imagine that a non pattern part is better than OE, so I would get an original part.

Yes, my 2009 Boxster.
Wayne, do you know what tends to fail?

Usually the wire breaks, or a plastic guide fails in the window regulator Graham, so you have to replace it. I presume your window went twang and dropped to the bottom, so complete replacement needed
Cheers

No, just a sharp crack like a plastic tooth snapping off a gear.
The window is 5mm down from the very top.
Switching down creates a ticking sound, about 1/2 second apart.
Switching Up stop this, no glass movement at all.

Lucky it hasn’t dropped to the bottom in this weather then!

Did consider painting my car. Darren makes such a fuss about such matters. No idea why - can't be that hard...

Typical Sam/Greatworth layout.
Propper job with new studs, total cleaning etc, you/it is in safe hands!

Very, very nice.
At the (very) other end of the spectrum, I put this sticker from a recent trip to LA on the rear window
