Lost coolant through pressure overflow to rear heater under rear seats on outside of bodywork. Simple replacement (£60), but another weak spot on all models

Seized wipers through manufacturing fault. They stop due to bore on spidle being machined too close. this can be removed and filed down, replaced and greased up in 2 hours. main dealers will try to replace the unit at £300 cost to you!
