Front Passenger door problems
All of the sudden I cant put the front passenger window down. I hear like a mechanical whirring when I hit the switch and it doesn't move. Also, when I try to put it down, the console displays Front Passenger door open for a moment. It's clearly closed.
I took it to the dealer but Service was closed by the time I got there. He said its a common problem on the RR, but havent seen it on the RRS. Will take it again on Monday.

Used to get it regularly on my RR, usually it would wind down but not go up. Cure was to stop the car, switch off ignition and restart, or if that failed open and close the driver's door! Never did get it cured, I changed the car for a Sport while it was in having it's 2nd service! Took in an RR, watched the sales guys take the sheets off various RRS in the showroom on launch day and bought one there and then on the spot and drove the display car home a week later, no waiting no deposit paid! Left the RR with them after the service as they had somebody else wanting to buy it while I was settling the deal on the Sport so never knew if they fixed the driver's side window! Dealer took me home in their RR Vogue and I drove round in my Defender for the next week until delivery.The RR was an uncommon coloured car too - there are not many Monte Carlo Blue Rangies around, but somebody else liked it as well as me! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

It has amazingly fixed itself today. It wasn't working this morning, and I turned off the car but left the key in the ignition while I ran into the store with my wife in the car. When I came back, the door and windows are fine.... weird.
Really weird thing is that when all this started, it was under the same circumstances..... I had the key in the ignition with the car off for a prolonged time while I showed a friend everything in the car. After that I was having the window problems.
So far so good. I'll give it a couple days and see if it happens again.
