After fixing the earth problems affecting the starter motor, the little **** has developed 2 other electrical faults......
1. The car doesn't know when the rear drivers side door in open, so you can lock the car with it open!! and it doesn't show as open on the dashboard display either There are also problems with both drivers side door sender units, since when you start the car it locks and un locks all the doors. Faults codes recorded for this (thanks Skipton!) are 01562 and 01559 (both "door won't unlock" - intermittant. Any suggestions? and any idea of the cost of a DIY job? I am guessing that the 2 are related!
2. The brake pad wear indicator comes on if you turn on full lock to the right I have checked the connections, since the brake pads were recently changed, but everything looks OK? I can't simulate the fault by moving the wires around either? Could this be another earth fault?
It is a shame that these irritating problems are ruining what is a very special car!
Any help or suggestions readily taken,
Cheers,
David
