Default front O/S window failure

Afternoon all.

The Ian/Plankton/Bushido/Baryonyx D2 A8 4.2 went through it's MOT today. No advisories though it had to have the rear n/s coil replaced as it was snapped. "hooray", I thought. It's passed it's MOT!

As I was driving home from the garage, I had the front O/S window down. As I put it up on the A1, I tried to bring it back down just an inch or so to let some air in. That's when the window stopped working; stuck in the closed position.

I've got it home and moving the switch, I can still hear the 'click' that the switch makes when it operates (or when you press the switches for the other windows in the closed position). I'm guessing it's not the switch that has gone, more likely the motor. It's not like when the window stopped working in my Focus (the pulley had fallen off it's runners and I could hear the motor grinding).



I am guessing it is the motor that has failed. Could someone tell me which motor it is I need as a replacement, or link me to one for sale?


Also, I have read the door card removal guide. Is removing the door card and fitting a new window motor something that can be achieved by a total cackhander like me?



13 year old car, and the MOT tester commented on how nice it was and how it was in such good shape. Oh well...
