No. ATC informed them they were about 4 km off localizer course and then they made 3-4 course reversals to intercept it, without been offered or asking for vectors. Anyway, after gyrations they were again off course and eventually turned hdg 250 to intercept rwy 29 loc, which they captured 2km off threshold at 1000 ft QFE so no glideslope capture occurred.

They realized they won't make it after passıng MM at 1000 ft AAL so initiated go-around. As it was single channel, autopilot automatically disengaged, which they either failed to notice or appreciate and aeroplane climbed on her own. Go-around was started at 300m QFE and they busted go-around altitude of 500m QFE by 200m. They pushed. It was dark IMC. Rest can be read in a few posts around here.

Stab/stab trim/elevator failure???
No.
