Unlucky Or Just Bad Timing ?

today was the day i planned the car was getting its cambelt/waterpump done (153,550 miles);

 

1. gets in it this morning to find nsf window fully down ! bollocked the mrs , telling her how luckyshe was that it hadnt rained !

2. i moved car from drive onto main road and locked it using remote

 

3. her mum walks past me opens nsr door, gets something out and then shuts the door ???????

 

4. i re-locked the door (hazards flashed) and walked over to it---------within 10 seconds both front windows dropped about 2 inches and the doors unlocked !

 

5. open car, ignition on to send windows up again. pressed remote again to lock car

 

6. short wait and the windows started juddering down, osf all the way but nsf opened about 2 inches.

 

7. osf door loom again---2 wires twisted against each other and insulation missing---possibly these 2 intercating ? so cut/splice/heatshrink and keep fingers crossed.

 

and so on to mates garage to do the cambelt-----

 

eurocarparts sent an skf cambelt kit,a new hydraulic tensioner, new kwp waterpump and an skf auxilary drive belt tensioner , longlife antifreeze for £170 inc vat. turns out 90bhp anu engine is most costly kit..................it runs smoothly and quieter now due to new aux.belt tensioner.

Sounds like you found the problem as if you unlock the car by using the key in the door lock and when you turn it to the unlock position you hold it over in that position for a few seconds the windows drop until you release the key.

It sounds like your wires bridging was causing the same sort of problems
