Is it a big job to replace window lifter front passenger relay? My passenger seat window hardly moves. Computer said it was that.

Are you sure it is the relay, if it is trying to move?
I often find a good oiling of the window channels takes the load off the motor and they work a lot better. It nneds to be done regularly.
When servicing customer cars in the past I always oiled the window channels along with door locks and hinges.
These days most garages just seem to give a quick squirt of spray grease to the door hinges if you are lucky.

I agree. I use silicon spray and just did Pandabird4. Dirt collects on the glass edges and slows things right down over a few years. The actual regulator change is a diy job. Fiddly but straight forward. Take lots of photos as you go so you know what goes where on reassembly. I hadboth front replaced on tge Panda 100 under warranty. Less than 1hr a side by dealer. It was done while I waited.
