My JTD ELX (110) has started showing an intermittent
electrical problem at startup.

About 20% of the time at startup a good proportion
of the electrics refuse to work for about a minute
(elec. window, dipped beams, sunroof). After they start
working everything is fine.

Other electrics (full beams, folding mirrors) work ok
even when the fault shows.

I'm holding out a trip to the garage to see if it
happens more regularly (I know they won't do anything
if the fault does not show)

Has anybody seen a similar behaviuor?

Couple of things to check, earth straps to engine and body - not unknown for these to corrode and cause problems.
Fuses - missus has the car so I can't look to see if all the items you mention have a common fuse but a couple of posters have resolved issues by discovering bad connections in the fuse box.
 
pmsl, it was the very last one on the board and I couldn't help but reply seeing as it had been there for 9 years and no-one had replied to him.
