I've had no luck turning it by hand so far, but I'm going to look at some tools tomorrow. > You need to lower it unbolt the window pane, and raise the glass out of > the way, then lower the rest of the window.

Yup, but I need to lower the window first :( It's seriously stuck! Are you saying I can just detach the glass, tape it in place (in the frame) and then try working the shelf down? There might be enough room to manoeuvre the mechanism behind the glass. I'll take a look at that too tomorrow. BTW, where did you get the motor from (if you needed a replacement, of course)? PFS are selling for about 60 quid, but I've yet to try the usual used parts outlets ... Partly coz I've not got the damn motor out yet to see what's wrong with it. Thanks for the reply, Paul
