    Hey Everyone!
    Well.... its scorching hot and my car decides to stop my windows from working! TYPICAL! [:^(]

    The driver side window wont go up nor down, doesnt make a sound when i press the button. (changed the switch but unfortunately not that easy!) [:x]

    The passenger window will go down with the driver switch but not up! however, will work fine off the passenger door control!

    And also the sunroof will open and close off the control, yet the auto-closure when i lock the car has ceased to work?!!

    Any ideas? [:s]
    thanks guys! :)

    Same here - dash mounted rear window switch has packed up, yet the other that never works has fixed itself.

    All happened whilst at Inters in the heat!

    I'd say check the wires inside the boot in the drivers door shut.
    I did a temporary repair on the missus' 5 door but has snapped again.
    Rear windows also inop but havn't checked that yet...

    I had the same problem in the winter, but the locking pin for central locking had snapped and it stopped my windows going up!! But went down. Take the door jadle out and see if the pin has snapped if so then i changed mine and it works great.
