Yup!  seems the leccy windows do fail and start doing strange things after a decade or so..it's wear and tear as well but it's a common thing that starts going wrong.
I've got two windows to sort out, not made a start yet.  You just gotta get the door card off and start looking around in there..could be worn regulator, broken wires, knackered motor, even the up/down switches or a combination of some or all!
And me just writing this now i realise why i'm putting the job off on mine! :grin:

Grease the runner that the (housing that sits the window in). It may have gotten dry and if it is this eventually it will break the housing and the window WILL Fall into the door. Did this on my rear passenger side. fixed it now tho.

Hope this helps.

I wouldnt play with the window until u have checked this. Will only take u 5 mins MAX....
