Just passed its Mot yesterday , I have same problems as everyone else battery drain , rear wiper works when it wants , doors stick when frosty & wife keeps braking my door handles off & not letting on !
What can I do about the rear wiper ?
Bought a Charger for the car so stays on that when not been driven .
Replaced 2 out of the 4 door handles , put sign on the other 2 , only gently pull the handles .
