Any ideas ??

Of course you are remembered.....hello
I would start by looking at obvious like fuses. Not sure if there is a specific fuse for front windows.
After that I might check the control switch or cause it to be checked. I have a circuit tester albeit am 1st to admit I am pretty poor using it. A basic spike probe with a light on it can be more fool proof.
If passenger door window opens by passenger door switch it might point to the master switch on drivers door at fault.
It could be mechanical but I doubt it. Even if both regulators had failed there would still usually be some noise as the cables spin pathetically in door housings.
Perhaps someone more electronically clued up will offer more constructive comments.

Hi
As AW8 said it could be a fuse to start with, or a relay has failed. If it was a motor that had gone it would more likely be one side not both.

Hi Wilkoturbo,
Did you manage to trace the electric window fault? I'm having similar problems and suspect the main switch.
Cheers
