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.

United Kingdom 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

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! Laughing A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

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.
