£3000.

I will even valet it for you.

How many electric windows? How many switches?

if the motors arent whirly gigging then one could assume door loom problems

my dad has a 2007 megane whose window motors are always going - he had about 4 of them replaced under warranty - they are a known week item.

I'm not sure on the price though - he tells me it was a warranty claim every time - sorry.

are you sure its the motors and not the clips?
clue is if you hear whirly gig noises

water corrodes the points on the motor-loom connector in the door it gets really wet in there.

pull off speaker grille, unscrew 2 screws (female Torx heads i remove with a small flat head screwdriver)to removes speaker, put hand in and feel immediate left/right the wire and the window motor is there, play with wire as with ignition on holding down the window switch if it comes to life then its the loom connector door card needs removing (pain in the backside to remove) and a good old clean with electrical contact leaner should do trick.

£80-100 if it is a motor £100 plus depending on how much poking around with the multimeter I have to do
