Cheers everyone. I think what i'll do is take the time to remove all the wiring, so i can just plug it all straight in.

If you get the chance to buy an 'electric life' kit for cheap go for it, they are excellent quality and fit perfectly.  You get a pannel to mod your centre console, or just buy a proper VAG el window console.  

I'm dead chuffed with mine, plus you get the extra assurance that the kit is new and is gonna last longer!

Where can i find more about these kits? I'm not going to put the switches in the centre console, i'm putting them in the door.

How do you remove non-working elecy windows? The manual says you've got to wind the window down, but how do you that when the motor don't work?

You could try undoing the bolts and see if you can get enough clearance when you drop the motor and channel down inside the door to rotate it then remove.  Have you tried applying 12v directly to the motor?
