Thanks ruan and poodle.
The car has been behaving normally the past few days, its been relatively dry ( not much rain ) and warm, with the thermometer not flashing and showing 9 degrees c and above, car starting and behaving all good.
However, this morning, relatively dry, thermometer 6 degrees c and yeh, a non starter, but after locking and unlocking ( then it starts to unlock its self again, then returns to normal ) it started normally. There was some snow on the hills across the valley but the thermometer did not "flash".
Its gunna be a relatively dry weekend so will air the car and check out some of the "onion " rings, the first I think the bsi some where under the centre plastic. Hope its just a bad/poor contact there.
Also whilst checking the channel drains where the wiper motor lives ( channel drains all clear ) on the passenger side I found a black rubberish pre formed cranked pipe, one end of which looks like it fits onto a "stub" ( drain pipe ? ) and 2 tabs under the plastics there for the rubber pipe to clip into. I cant feel where the "stub " is so will have to take that area apart and find it. This is just above the air intake for the heater, but have not seen/felt any water/damp on the passenger carpet. That area is close to the bsi area, so maybe cause ??
Will report back later with findings........
