A small point - but the window switches on the earlier cars are not in the doors and are a different type to the Maestro/Montego switches used on the post-facelift cars.

It also seems the later style swtich isnt wired the same as the earlier ones.
Issue with the switch illumination bit powering the window up.

Yes i know i have had to re wire the dashboard as i had old smiths clocks changed them to fdo so will be rewiring the door switches as well

Take the opportunity to modify the wiring to take a more modern switch. The Maestro/Montego variants are in short supply, but there's a commonly available switch of a similar size with one fewer contacts which should do the job.

ISTR it's used on Land-Rovers.
