It is probably too late in the game, but had you considered the Eastwood Contour SCT Surface Conditioning Tool? There should be some video if this link works.

We've got a different electricry system here so not all things get converted and imported for that reason. I did consider something similar (might even be made in the same Chinese factory) but disregarded the expensive consumables. I don't make it easy on myself - there are budget considerations to be made as well

Army;
"Converting" is merely stepping down the operating voltage with a transformer of the appropriate wattage rating, no feat (and not particularly expensive) to implement (and safely!) for any electrically qualified individual, so don't discount the 110VAC powered options. The frequency change from 60 to 50Hz is typically not critical enough to make a significant difference (synchronous motors will run at a slightly less efficient operating point...not an issue when not fully loaded) most other equipment has internal power supplies where the incoming AC is converted to DC to operated the device anyway, so little issue there because of frequency...

I admit to not being someone who is particularly at one with electrickery but there's another element that plays a big part. Whilst prices in the US of A (in particular for cordless power tools) seem interesting the problem I have is import charges. The Dutch government in particular is especially unfriendly when it comes to sales outside of the EU. Any purchase price benefit is more or less negated by the additional taxes - couple that with the "when it goes wrong scenario" many multi-nationals won't honour warranty agreements outside of the country of purchase which in practice would involve sending stuff back to the US of A where the US government might even want to apply import duties (!) - whilst I see the benefits of paying taxes in society I think that one needs to draw a line somewhere!

Window slider question
Inside the passenger's door there has been a repair made to what look like sliders for the (wind up / wind down) window =>
The thing is these sliders don't look like they will ever get to touch the window. I'm wondering if something is missing. The glass did seem to be rather loose in the door when (partially / fully) wound down. Can anyone help? Anyone had troubles with loose PV windows before? Anyone had troubles with loose Amazon windows - they might be the same for all I know?

The glass slides are on the outer frame of the door. Loose glass usually means that the lining channel; is worn away and needs replacing. Not sure what these are for.
Look at this link for what a bare door interior should look like. http://lenzpv544.blogspot.com/2013/ |

Could they just be stiffeners? Pretty crude but they will be hidden.

This might be a brain fart: But they could be for the window opening chain (the chain runs around three cogs - one's the winder) and not the glass - I'll have another look tomorrow and see...
...might have been a poor assumption on my part that the inner sliding parts are for the glass.

The top left arrow shows the window winder - the bottom arrow the position of the wire (fitted tot he chain that goes around the cog on the winder) - the right had arrow showing the position of the wire fitted to the glass holder... ...so no I can't see how those central sliders have anything to do with the chain / wire mechanism either. May be the side sliders (into which the glass fits) on my doors are not in the right place? Because these central sliders are a couple of centimeters (if memory serves me right) away from the glass. If you have the time to wind the window on your spare door up and down a bit to try and see what's going on it would be much appreciated.
