Is my car haunted?

Driving down the motoway at the weekend with the drivers window half way down and without touching any buttons it just did itself up?

Any thoughts or is it just another one of those UCI's (unexplained Cerbera Incidents)?

Happened to me before, window was fully down and I had my arm (elbow) resting on it as I was driving along, then it went up

But yes the car is posessed, get it seen by a priest immediately for an exorcism.

That was one of the symptoms when my regulator started to fail. If the MIL light starts to beep or flash (should do both) then check the alternator voltage. It can damage the battery amongst other stuff.

Basically the 16V charging was playing with my electrics, managed to hobble home below 2k rpm.

Meant to add, it's also happened when the car hasn't been used for about 6 weeks and battery was flat. When I went out on a run to charge it up I had a few electrical confusions till the battery was topped up.
