Driver window trouble

[jayex]

i know lots of poeple have had trouble with this..
My driver's side window stopped working yesterday, and no amont of toggling seems to get it to budge. The door opens and closes ok - although it does cath a little on the a pillar, but the window just refuses to move at all - I can hear a switching noise in the door asif something is trying to work,
any sugestions or thoughts - i thought maybe the moter ?... anyone replaced the moter themselfs - if so was it a fairly easy job ?
thanks in advance

motors gone mine did it the the other week if your cars still under warranty they'll do it for you as it's a common fault took them a morning don't know how easy it is to do yourself

Thanks Will_"S"
Aw thats a real Bu@@er as mine is out of warranty will have to find a cheaper way of doing things i think as the laubour charge is a killer
cheers for the reply tho

no problem,shame about the warranty talk to chris at woodmans on the sponsours links he's been doing some good deals lately he might be able to sort you out with a cheap motor (not the del boy kind) or if not generally gives good advice

look on your door panel, the forward most mounting screw, close your fist and hit the door just forward of that screw a few times fairly hard while moving the toggle switch, temporay fix but should still get the motor replaced

Thanks miniservice,i have seen this fix posted else where only he said hit it above the speaker which is more or less the same place, it did nothing but tonight i got ****ed off and really gave it a good wacking and presto it works.It's been stuck for 3 months so now i dont have to use the aircon and can hear the Borla growl real good,needless to say i'm a happy camper.Again thanks

If you are in the UK try MiniMatt.co.uk

Mine has had this problem on both doors for the last year. I just keep thumping the door cards. When that no longer works I'll replace them.
