more than likely you will need a regulator that's the most used window

If its just a click I would say whole reg/motor, if its a motor "trying" sound but no movement, could be a snapped cable. Ive just replaced cable on passenger, £10 and three hours using youtube vid above....its quite easy with just 1 tricky bit trying to get the right tension on the cable which isn't shown in the vid very well IMO.
You can get the whole reg 2nd hand for £30 - £40 which is quicker and easier.

Don't think its the cable, theres nothing happening inside the door apart from a click when i press the window button. I'll let you know the outcome at the weekend when i take the car apart

Bit of an update:
I took the door apart and got the window mechanism out of the door.
I then took the motor unit apart and found that the worm gear (which is attached to the motor) has completely worn the main gear (the one which moves the cables).
Sorry I didn't take any pics, however, now that I know what the problem is I will fix it as soon as I can and will post some pics on here.
Thanks for the help guys.
