Well new window mechanism installed and working perfectly.
Glass was well stuck in it’s runners. Not sure if this was the original cause of the motor failure or just the 5+ years it’s been stuck shut.
Will at some point open up the motor and see if it can be repaired.
It was a bit of job disconnecting the window mechanism from the glass as I couldn’t lower the mechanism , as described in the manual and is needed to access the bolts through the apertures in the door. Fortunately you can just about get a ring spanner on it .
Also didn’t realise that these bolts only required loosening rather than removing as the top plate of the mechanism has a keyhole shaped hole. Once loosened the top plate can be slid sideways to disconnect it from the glass.
You can’t see this in the pictures John provided above.
Thanks John for the photos from the cut away car. Really helpful when I reinstalled the mechanism in making sure I had it all in the right position

Well worth the effort!
