My drivers door is still playing up. I thought it could be to do with battery charge to start with, but the passenger door seems fine, so my guess is the microswitch. The proximity works fine, it just doesn't wind the window correctly.

Can't see this part in the alternatives... anybody replaced one, can you get them from Maplins or somewhere?

Bog standard microswitch form Maplins - get the one with the lever arm and the little roller on the end. One of my doors used the lever one didn't... Easyenough to snip off if you dont need it.

I got mine off Farnells.

They have them liksted as sub-minature micro switches.

They had none of the roller-end ones available when I ordered mine so I just got the ones with the plastic-coated arms and they did the job fine.

I had the same problem with mine and it did turn out to be the battery.
When fully charged all was ok again. The passenger side did perform ok at the time, same as yours.
