I stumbled upon the Zilvia message board, and though Id ask you a question.

My friend has a 95 240 with some problems. For one, the drivers window suddenly dropped down one day (it was broken into a week previous) and now the window doesn't move. The "auto down" actuator clicks, but the motor makes NO sound. I hooked wires direct from the battery to the motor, and NOTHING. It gets very very hot though. Do you think the motor is fried? If so, how hard is it to change, and where can I get one CHEAP!

Next, she has problems with it leaking water. She had the radiator and the thermostat replaced, but it leaks worse and worse by the day. There is NO leaks from the radiator or the water canister. When jacking the car up running, you see water dripping down from the drivers side around the oil pan. Could this be a head gasket leak? Or a cracked block? OR is that where the lower hose runs to the engine to the radiator?

If you could answer these questions I would be much appreciative.
