That doesn't sound right.
When you say permanent live do you mean they have power on them even when the key is not in the ignition??
As far as I know Radio is wired to position 1 on the ignition switch, the others that draw more power are wired at position 2 (ignition on). You could have an earthing problem, a faulty ignition switch or somebody has been bodging the wiring.

Not sure about heated seats but the others are on seperate circuits. try testing for a good earth on auxillary circuit.

most of the things you say arnt working all have the same earth.
I had same problem with mine after i fitted a new stereo, all worked for a while then nothing worked. it turned out the earth had gone missing (god knows how) an electrician friend sorted everything by putting in a new earth.
A way of testing is to remove the box from inside the centre console which will give access to the electric window relays, take out a relay and using a cable, bridge over the connector where the relay goes and a window should start to work.
