I have noticed an intermittent fault? with my car. When I unlock the doors using the remote the driver window sometimes go down as well! I presume this is a fault, I can't imagine this being a "feature". Has anyone else experienced this? It only seems to happen if you leave the car for a while and then come back, it doesn't seem to happen if you lock and then unlock straight after each other.

Count me in. I call it my magic window. Walk up, hit the button and down the windows goes. Had the whole service dept out to look at it as they hadn't seen it before.

It's great for a sunny but no so good in the rain...

Goes in to get fixed next week...

Same deal with mine. Did it untold times a few weekends ago when the skies opened up (really handy). Hasn't done it since though. I've just added this to my long list of things to fix / get fixed;

Rocker oil leak, exhaust rattle, diff whine, warped rotors, broken bonnet release, alternator whine. Really love the car but the number and extent of problems are getting me down. The Expensive Daewoo boys at work are having a field day !!!

Mine did the same thing. Started a couple of days before her first service (3000km). The service guy nodded sagely when I said the window had developed an attack of the auto actions. The service record shows they replaced a window 'switch'. No other info at this stage but it seems to have fixed the problem.

cheers

Oh yes..."The old auto winding down of the drivers window when you unlock your BA trick"!!!!!

I believe I was b**chin' about this as well.

BBF put it down to an overloading capacitor, need a part to be sent up from Melbourne...typical!!!!! One of you Melb ppl want to send me tha part, that way, the damn p[roblem may be fixed before oh lets say June.....lol. :oops:

Thing that pissus me awf, didn't have this problem until they reset the damn ^^&@$%@%&W COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

It only did it once, the LCD displays were flashing for 20 minutes, like the diagnostic mode but this lasted for 20 minutes not 2-3 minutes, as per &*#$ usual, they said "Gee, that shouldn't happen"! Yeah No S**T!!!!!!!!

So my car is out of my possession for a week, getting the damn crappy paint job fixed on the boot and spoiler, ming protection re-applied and hopefully this capacitor has been sent up from Melbourne. Currently driving around in a Ford Focus, "OH JOY"!!!!

Basically they just replace the entire switch.

Get this, they are on "back order" even in Melbourne....Unbelievable. "OH YAY".

Last time I go for a "series-1" of anything!!!
