Hi, I have a very interesting problem and not sure where to start. My son had a lovely TF which found some black ice, and lost an argument with a roadside railing, so ended up being no more. We have now purchased a replacement, which is a 2005 with 49K on the clock. However, it is nowhere near as good as the one he had previously. It may have a HG failure which is being addressed, it has some bodywork issues which are being addressed, a P0170 code (possibly related to HG failure, or blowing exhaust) being addressed, and has a very interesting electrical fault.

Sometimes when he is using the car in the rain, the alternator light flashes once, and the drivers window opens on it's own. This is intermittent, and may not happen, and then today happened twice in a 300 yard movement of the car. Obviously this window is being activated, though not sure from where. I am assuming that water is shorting something out somewhere, but where I have no idea.

Has anybody seen this before, or is this a new one?

Any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nigel
