The fact that both pack up at the same time swings more towards the switch that disables both windows next to the window switch instead of a dodgy wire or solder.

Are you sure your not touching that switch now and then as i used to do that when i 1st drove my e30.

Hey guys

Got to the bottom of the problem, turns out someones fitted the elec windows as an after thought on my car , they're wired straight off the battery and whoever crimped the terminals clearly did it blind folded.

cheers for the replys tho guys.
