Have a 2002 cooper. Remote suddenly stopped working. Have changed battery no change. Last week disconnected battery for a while (main car battery) reconnected and bingo all working again. Few days later same problem and repeating the battery procedure above has not cured, any ideas please?

Also have a problem with drivers door window. Intermittent fault, sometimes works but often not, this is both in the window not dropping when door opened and closed and also the switch in the car

Ideas please help!

Is the main car battery good still?

good question, it appears fine. I have not measured it but it holds charge and i tested to see if would perform multiple starts yesterday and it appears fine. A friend of mine did say if battery not in tip top condition it can affect car systems. But it appears fine (although dealer i bought car from earlier this year did swap it out of a vauxhall as our battery did fail).
