Electric window relay going crazy!

A few weeks ago I left my other half in the car while I collected some bits for the Fiesta. When I came back she told me that 'something was going off like a fire cracker in the footwell'. After a bit of messing about on the drive I traced the noise to the electric window relay (944.615.122). When I key-off, the relay is randomly switching on and off which means that I get random operation of the windows. Oddly enough, this isn't a problem when the car is running.

My first thought is that the 29 year old relay has probably had enough and needs replacing, but I'm wondering if there could be an underlying problem (hopefully not wiring!). Has anyone else had a similar issue?
 
+3 take out the switches and clean up the contacts with a wire brush (ignore the VW Audi badges on them :ROFLMAO: )
