With the door open, look between the door and the pillar, there's a rubber boot there with all the electrics running through it. Pull the rubber boot back and check that none of the wires are broken..

ok i'll check in a bit, when i press the window button the motor goes for a split second then stops, plugged the new motor in and it does the same, changed the switch and still the same

Sounds like a wiring problem then. Are all the wiring plugs connected the correct way around?
