V8V weird window behaviour.
Discussion
Hi all,
My Vantage started doing an odd window thing today. It's been fine until now, but on opening the window today on this fine sunny day it seems only to want to open in incriments. So if I hold the button fully down it'll open about 4 or 5 inches, then stop. To get it to continue to go down I have to press the button again. So to get the window fully open (or closed) takes about 7 or 8 presses of the button. Bloody random!
Has anyone else experienced this before or know how to fix it? I read about the window reset, but that doesn't work in this case as a single held press won't get the windows fully down or up.
Advice welcome....

Mine did the same a little while ago. The window regulator is most likely on the way out. It has a hall sensor which allows it to know where it is.
Did you have to change your regulator in the end? Thought I'd fixed it, but it's playing up again. Taking it to the workshop today, but they mentioned that if it is the regulator then they come in pair and so have to pay for both sides to be done, which seems a bit ridiculous. Was that the case with yours?If I recall the door modules have to be done as a pair. Something about the new one having different (and incompatible) firmware IIRC. I knew it was not the door modules as I'd swapped them side to side and the problem persisted.
My regulator was replaced singly by Bamford Rose. Whether they bought a pair, charged me for one and then elected to sit on the drivers side as an in-stock-spare I cannot confirm.
Seems utterly bonkers if AM only provide them as pairs.
It's not a job I entertained doing as it's apparently a right b
h to set up.

h to set up. I have a 2008 Vantage Roadster
So I had checked out my old passenger side regulator and visually around the hall sensor chips was some corrosion so I assumed that was the issue.
I ordered a second hand regulator from a 2015 Vantage S for $150 USD.
After fitting, the passenger window is doing the same thing (only goes up and down in increments)
I find it hard to imagine that two regulators have exactly the same fault.
So.. my questions to anyone that can answer them are:
Can the door module cause this? The PCBs of the driver side door module looks identical (as does the regulator PCB). Will swapping them over for diagnostic purposes cause any issues?
There is a cheap door module going on eBay but its for the same year DB9. Was there any differences between the DB9 non Volante module and the Vantage Roadster module? I suspect I can check by part number.
Is it the door modules or the regulators that need to be the same version on each side? I've read something about firmware mismatches causing issues
Thanks in advance.
PS I've done the hard reset by removing all power on all modules and regulators
