yes mate had the same problem when i got mine, it was the control box under the glovebox on the top of the kick panel.
i took it out and to bits and found a dry joint on the circuit board, soldered it up, put it back together not had a problem since

Hi.

This is a common problem, although I haven't heard of the above solution before. Normally it is dust and fluff in the switch assembly under your left elbow. The trim panel comes off easily, the switch panel is them held on with a few screws, once removed you can clean it out. If both windows are affected concentrate on the square isolating switch.

Good luck, Dan.

I have - on my previous Disco. 10 minutes and it worked perfectly.
