Any suggestions please ??

the window switches could be at fault try those first of all.the window that doesnt work at all could be the motor/mechanism thats failed if you like i copuld send you a couple of switches on a try before you buy basis as i am breaking a w124 at the moment .if interested let me know

What happens when you use the console switches?

It's probably the switches. Replace them. Console switches are different to the door switches, btw

I have heard it said that the switches respond very well to cleaning, try a good switch cleaner aerosol type, non drying

Thanks i have dismantled th D/S switch ,cleaned and replaced to no avail
The console switches do not work at all

check for broken wires then either at the 'elbow; of the door (where the wires go through the black rubber sheath and receive the most bending/breaking) or connecting to the switch/console

also check your fuses.
