does sound like the motor???? could even be miss-aligned runners putting to much stress on the motor when trying to go back up

pulling the window wont budge it either way by hand. is there a manual winder hole to get it up ??

There aint that many members in Scotland never mind Ayrshire, I suggest trawling through local breakers if you want one local.....

You could try Salvo and speak to Mark

There is a scrappy up back of halfords in paisley, they have a 850 saloon breaking.

Now i dont knw if motor would be the same, but if it was then i knw they have one, was in there just other week.
