Turns out popping the central locking fuse seems to have made it all bearable for the trip. More of a concern was both radiators fans packing in which made the return journey a bit of an adventure.

Scrap yards here in France aren't like in the UK so I can't do the same unfortunately. Connectors to all doors disconnected presently and I'll tackle this on my return. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Hmm....can't find the edit post option. Please disregard last question. Reading FAQ.

You know, I'd checked the FAQ and done some Googling but thought the gaiters looked to be in good order but following your replies just had a go at looking inside (wow - big plug!) and yup, a melange of broken and bare wires and cracked insulation. Thanks! So.....what's the best method of repair? There's limited space so presumably it's one door off at a time and manually replace each broken wire (splice and heat shrink them one by one)? Got a 1100km drive tomorrow morning so not starting any big jobs right now.

Hello All I've recently purchased this and have put up with the issue for 5 months but now I need to tackle it and not sure where to start. While the car is running, sometimes the windows wind down but won't wind up again. When the ignition key is out the car spuriously locks and unlocks and the windows randomly wind up and down. I'm going to fit a battery cut-off as I'm getting fed up of removing one of the battery terminals and will probably hard wire the window motors separate from the loom. Just thought I'd post here before I get stuck in just in case anyone can point me towards anything to try first? TIA
