1998 Jagaur XJ8 with 101,000 miles

I just bought this car a week ago and the driver side window will not roll down and when i put the sunroof back and a few seconds later it closes. At first i thought it was because i hit the valet mode while test driving it, but i turned it off and both problems continue still. I think i can hear the motor running in the driver side window but i don't know how to take off the door panel to take a look at it from the inside. I don't have the money right now to pay to take it to a dealer so any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I have a '98 xj8 that had the same two problems. I found on-line advice to disconnect the positive battery cable fo 30 minutes, and then reconnect. It fixed the driver's window and the sunroof both. Good-luck
