It looks like the first thing I tried has worked! Took out the door harness plug, applied contact cleaner then contact enhancer and replaced. Everything seems to be back to normal. That was quite an alarming set of apparent faults for a simple bad connection. Thanks for the advice.

One weird thing I discovered though. When I got the car I was given 2 identical keys - one of the emergency keys works for locking and unlocking, but the other only locks, the unlock won't turn. That's annoying as it means I dare not use it (in case this problem happens again) so I will have to share the one working key with my wife.
