Progress has been happening on this. Need to upload some photos though!
Rear door lock issue was narrowed down to being a failed lock motor, I've just taken delivery of a known good replacement so that's going on this evening. I have a feeling the issue with the car sometimes re locking it's self is to do with the n/s/f door lock being a bit slow. Will try to refurb it and if that doesn't work will replace that also.
Front corner lights were falling apart so I have ordered new Valeo ones to replace them.
One of the rear clusters was full of water so I removed that, drained it through the bung and siliconed the bung back in as I couldn't find anywhere for it to leak from. Think it'll fill back up since it was above the bung so that can't be where it was getting in. I also removed the bit of plastic and fitted a n/s fog light bulb while i was there and cleaned everything up. Doing a small amount of paint damage and rust below the light that I'll have to treat soonish.
Radio is going to be replaced with a later ph clarion CD unit that my mate has, and I have priced up the parts for the service and brakes. Just waiting for the time to do the work!
