Window will not go down when you open the door or when you try from the inside using the button!!
Any ideas please. Thanks.

Could be corroded contacts on the inside of the door, a split wire where the loom goes from the door to the car (as had occurred on mine), or a dodgy box in the boot.

Thanks for that. Much appreciated. I just need to find somebody that knows what they are doing now! Shame you are not local! Thanks again.

I'd go for removing the door card.

Corroded contacts caused this problem on mine a while back.

It's not a difficult job.

If you can use an allen key and a can of contact cleaner spray then you know what you are doing.
