Hi, I'm looking for advice on some issues I have with my 2005 C8 2.2HDi SX with 62k.

I had to deactivate the ESP to get off some wet grass, I tried to reactivate it and the dash reported 'ABS Fault' and 'ESP/ASA Not Functioning'. I cannot clear the warning or reactivate from the button. I've tried the usual disconnect/reconnect of the battery that clears the Immobiliser Fault/Passenger Airbag Fault warnings etc. Has something failed or has the onboard computer got confused?!

My auto-wipers have stopped working, the display no longer advises Auto Wiping Enabled and the wipers simply sweep every few seconds as per a normal intermittent setting. Can this be activated from the car or is it a dealer visit - I have not long had the sensor changed, is there a connector in the loom they might not have clipped in properly?

Rear electric windows will not wind up until they have wound down fully, from any open position. If you try to close them, they go up about 2cm and then down approx 5cm and stop, this repeats until they reach the bottom, then they will close fully. This happens with both the switches in the drivers door and on the B pillars.

The fan blower for the rear appears to have packed up, I get the indicator show on the LCD but no increase in air flow - can it be accessed to check it?

I've had many niggling problems with this car which is such a shame because I really like it when its working! - - rear tailgate fouling on the light clusters, non retracting seatbelts, seat rail covers breaking up, air leaks from vents in drivers door to rear passengers, interior lights staying on, water leaks from front door seals, excessive front tyre wear (even on 16" rims) and brake wear, electric sliding doors refusing to close, washer pump failure (3 times), poor fuel economy (28mpg) and performance - now improved with tuning box, poor radio reception (even Radio 1 is difficult to get sometimes), front seat base foam disintegrating, rear seats jamming & refusing to fold or move, aluminium coating on handles peeling off plus more. I've had some fixed by the dealer but many issues remain, now the cars out of warranty they wont entertain fixing anything unless I pay - even the stuff that has been reported but not fixed while the car was in warranty - they say the car's done "extreme mileage" even though its supposed to be covered by a 3year 60k warranty...!! To be honest, what they did 'fix' has been shoddy work and I'd prefer to sort things out myself if possible, or go to an independant...

Appologies for the long post, any help/advice will be much appreciated!
