I would have thought that any electrical component not working spot on would be a prime suspect. Problem is identifying the intermittent failure, so you're back almost to trial and error.

So, could my faulty driver's door central locking motor be the culprit?

It does the usual, works sometimes, sometimes not. As I said I have a second-hand replacement just haven't got round to fitting it yet. I'll try and swap it this weekend.
Doubt it, yours is the std lazy motor type fault....  ....but worth changing anyway.

 >:( Bugger its just happened to me not been out in car for about 4days &batterey flat, barely turned over, so now battery on charge, will have to have it checked as think its a pretty old VX original once I'm up & running must be some virus going about !! ;)
I have a multimeter will try it suppose its just hold the mm/connections against the battery terminals & see exactly what it registers ?

It is not un common to leave the ruddy radio radio on by thinking you have switched it off but instead on when the volume is right down, that soon sees off the battery.
very easily done !

If it's a standard VX radio I think they are set to time out and switch off after 1hr  :-/
