You may recognise some of the symptoms, if you have/have had bad water ingress.

Everything else works as it should. Just the annoying locking issue. I've ordered another bcu and if needs be ill send it off for programming. Hopefully this should sort it. Can't find any water ingress/damage on the bcu. Carpets/floors are dry. But there is evidence of previous water ingress inside the car.
As a matter of interest, what was the number on your existing BCU, and did you managed to find the same? Rimmer's are listing it as YWC001522 (or YWC001512 for front windows only).
Quite a few new 1522's are on the 'Bay at around 50 quid I see, largely because they generally only go wrong when they've been swimming, I imagine. Lots of (used) 1512 ones too, but that is from cars converted from 2 to 4 elec. windows configuration, I suspect.
In any event I think you will find that a T4 session with the car will be needed, rather than sending off the BCU for "programming". If that is the case, it will also be interesting to see if the T4 sees the same as your tester, namely a tripped inertia switch, before you do the swap.

Yes, its the same unit. 511. Let you know how i get on when it arrives. It also shows power to the windows when there's not.....
Yes that shows up as LOW, front elec. windows only, as far as I can see.
The slightly different number gels with what Rimmer's also say :
"YWC001512 - Genuine MG Rover. Original part number was YWC001511."
"YWC001522 - Genuine MG Rover. Original part number was YWC001521."

Did you have any joy with this Biggs?
Wouldn't hold your breath on that Ben, since 'Biggs' hasn't logged on to the Forum in over 2 months. You could try a PM (his profile shows no 'Send email' option); he may have PM notification switched on.
