06 TD4 Drivers window Problem

Hi everyone,
I know people will be rolling their eyes at yet another freelander window problem thread, but i am after some info. I had the drivers window regulator replaced but the issue i now have is that it doesnt seem to want to start taking the window down when the button is pressed. If you give it a little manual help it will then happily go up and down all day, is there anything i can check or do so the window operates without the need of my helping hand?

Is it a complete new regulator or just the motor and wires? If it's still using the old tracks they may need cleaning and lubricating. I did that on the wife's Freelander when the front windows got a bit sticky and reluctant to go up/down.

Alternatively, take off the door card and loosen the track bolts a little bit and see if it makes a difference. I seem to recall there was some slight play in the positioning of the tracks.

Either a lubrication issue as above or the window isn't set in the runners correctly.

It was a brand new complete unit that was fitted. Will take the door card off and see about lubricating it all.

You might as well make sure the window is set correctly in its runners while you are there.
