Hi @Dave Beard the windows might need to be reset.
Power window all the way down holding the button all the time then power all the way up again holding the button all the time.
The windows should then do the 'one shot' up or down.
The bulb could have blown,don't shout at me but the switch is in the middle position?
One is off middle is on with doors and next is on all the time.

@Dave Beard Probably the window runners need lubricating then, they must be stopping as the motor current being used makes the control circuit think there is an obstruction.
Looks as if your interior lights are sorted.

I find my windows are extremely slow during the winter and much faster in the nicer months. I have been told lubricating the rubbers helps this.
Silicon spray for the rubbers and general use spray grease for the runners and slides/guides inside the doors.

Not Silicon spray for the runners Tony? Thought the use of Silicon on runners aided in not attracting grit etc unlike normal sprays? Happy to be corrected 
That's the way I lubricate them Andy, there really shouldn't be any grit to speak of inside the doors so I'm happy to use spray grease. It's a better lubricate for mechanical items such as slides and rollers.

Spot on and thanks
Hi window runners all greased up whilst cards removed for interior door handle fixes both sides funny how both windows were working fine
after that job and now suddenly both windows only move an inch or so with one push of the switch at a time though
