V8s passenger electric window replacement

[Rich v8s]

Evening, I am pulling my hair out trying to sort my electric window issue out. I tested the power to the motor and that was showing 2Amps and 12v. When the motor was removed from the mechanism it span like a good un, its only when its placed in the mechanism then all I get is clicking noise and no operation up or down. Tried oiling and lubing up the runners and winding coil that pulls it down / up, no joy. the frame appears to be straight, so my only choice is to replace with one from a breaking car. To be honest if I could stick a manual winder and mechanism in I would. Less problems....
So questions are:
1: Am I missing anything blaring obvious?
2: Anyone looking to sell a passenger electric mechanism ???

Many thanks

Yep its a Bosch 069 unit, as for the base unit it plugs into, the label was really scuffed up but looks like a `Electric LIFE` label, looks v.old. Car is 23 so probably original.

I thought maybe 2 Amps would be sufficient to work?

Excuse my ignorance, but I am guessing the Bowden cable is the metal tube that the worm part works in?
With the motor out, the window pushes down and up when I use a manual approach with my hands....albeit very stiff!

Thanks Adrian,
I think it might me more of a `jamming` scenario, because once the motor is inserted back into the mechanism, when you press the power button all you hear is a `click`. its like it wants to power the window but cant. Would you get that if its stripped the teeth?
I can liken it to when you are using a power drill, once the screw goes in so far but the battery powered drill doesn't have enough power it tries to turn but just makes a thud / click noise.....

Hope that makes sense??? :-)
