For the benefit of me and George123...
I have the door trim off, and none of the window mechanism will budge when you depress the switch and try to force the window down by hand at the same time.

Is it likely to be the motor? Because I find it hard to believe that the window mechanism would suddenly seize, and it all looks ok and still has some lubricant on it. As I said it's clearly getting 12v and the dash lights dim when you press the switch, as though there's a power drain when you press it.

I can see a couple of bolts to get the window mechanism out - when you replace this, does it need aligning? I am asking for any advice in an attempt to keep this to an hour or two of work, rather than interminable days of mucking around.

Thanks
John (Jungle_Jim)
