First thing i'd check would be the drivers door window switch, is it a 2 or 4 door?

[shelaghmk3gti]

hia, thanks for the fast reply its a 4 dr

The switches to tend to wear out so if all 4 windows are not working, check drivers door switch first then fuses.

okkkay, so are u going to tell me how to do that lol. how do i take it off and what am i looking for?

[shelaghmk3gti]

just tried the DS again and when i pressed it really hard the window went down....no luck with the others tho.. maybe a fault in the loop somewhere?
taking the kids out now, will be back later to check for any suggestions, have a nice day all xxx

Gently prise out the switch with a flat blade screwdriver and have look to see if the plug is on tight, then unplug it and make sure the connectors are clean then replace, and see if it works, ideally you need a replacement to plug in and try because you could spend all day checking fuses and wiring but if that switch is broke the only easy way to sort it is to replace which should be cheap and easy from a breakers yard (not much help on a sunday i know).

A couple of links that may come in handy with your problem -

Ok, make that one link cos I cant find the other. 

Easy enough to do anyway, check the switch and fuses first though
