ive got the same problem atm mate but for the e/w (drivers side front) !!! really doing my head in
ive changed the regulator and motor - cost me 150 quid and that sitll hasnt done it :(
i can hear the click - which means that the motor is working!
bt do not have a clue on what it is..
try check if ur motor clicks? and if not i suspect that it has the same problem as mine (not 100% sure but i think that the loom has short circuited!)
if u find out what it is leme no aswel pls :D

its most likely a bad earth in the door wiring loom - pull the rubber bellow back between the door and the car and check the BROWN cables for any kind of damage, or kinking.
