i heard of this happened in the early models but i didnt think it was still an issue. This has been reported before but i'm not sure what the solution was other than to do back to the garage, something to do with software i think it was.

Was it raining? I've heard of similar problems due to water ingress into the ECU.

yeah i think this was a software issue, and you should get it back to the garage to try and get it sorted.

I had a thing similar on my early model cooper, central locking unlocked and locked itself, was found to be a dodgy door catch.

Your car needs a new BC1 control unit.Was quite a common fault last couple of years. Water ingress causing the unit to open all windows and sunroof......
They have now changed this unit, so book it in for a new un :p

We had this, it was a two minute job, they took the care in run a diagnostic and corrected it, nothing too major cant even remember what the problem was.

You sure that the car didn't have a wee mind of its own and think
"I've been taken to IKEA, therefore they will be buying sone large iten of furniture that will require part of it to be stuck out the roof, and part stuck out the window! I'll save them the bother of opening them when they get back......."

Or more likely:
"I've been taken to IKEA, therefore I don't want to live anymore so I hope it rains and I can drown myself." ;)
