Ah, could well be. The garage who i bought it off did say the battery went flat over the last lockdown they had. I'll investigate

Thats definitely garage speak for 'it needs a new battery' !

Anew battery is quite cheap even for these cars.

James, if it is the battery, I think in your shoes I’d be asking the garage your bought it from to pay for a new one.  They shouldn’t be letting batteries get completely flat, and sometimes going this causes irreparable damage to it, such that it won’t retain a full charge any more.

Hi all, problem has got more annoying now. I tried to put the passenger window down to reset it, it didn't go all the way down, but went in jerks, it now won't go back up again!! And is stuck half way down, with rain on the way...

The window seemed to work yesterday.

It actually sounds like the window actuator is on the way out.  An easy fix but the part is expensive so I'd be back to the garage for them to diagnose and order the right part. Would be covered by any warranty.  Good luck.

Ah, that's annoying! Not the best of starts.. Car now has a bin bag over the window!! 

I've contacted them, hopefully they'll let me take it to a local specialist. Paul matty is near us.
