                Hi guys,
  My drivers window just packed it in
  are there any common faults or causes I should look for or is it likely that the motor has blown?
  If so, are there any aftermarket motors? or do i have to hunt for genuines?
  Any/all help is appreciated!

                Couple of faults to look for: 1) plastic gear in motor has three "triangle" bits on the inside of it which strip out, in this case the motor will still work but the window wont go up, probably make a thud thus thus sound.  can get a new gear fr
