First things to check are the switch, make sure it's plugged in first, easy to get to, just lift gear gaitor, try swopping the switches over to see if it makes any difference.

Then remove doorcard, and check wiring plugs inside the door.

removed door card, had to cut that plastic sh8 to get to inside of door (hope da plastic aint important)
but where in the door am i suposed to be looking? cause dont want to fiddle with da central lockin, coz it works

If you checked the console switch, the most likely thing is the door pillar socket, where the whole door loom plugs into the body. This is probably the mirror fault as well.
Since you've already taken the door card off, pull the window motor plug and socket apart, and power the motor directly from a 12V source. Connect one way around for it to go up, the other way around to go down.

Hi I would put plastic sh8 back on as it stops water entering the car.

The plastic sheet is important, but it doesn't have to be that particular sheet of plastic.
Some (later?) E30s have a much heavier gauge of grey plastic held in place by a bead of black reusable sealant around the edge.

Not only stops water, but makes a big difference to the road noise inside the car.
