I play this loud when I get my pass:-

Drive safe...

Only guessing but I would suspect it's a breather.

As tee-cee suggests, check out the thick under carpet, it can hold liters of water sealed against the floor.

I removed mine and rust cured and painted while in there.  The mat was so heavy with water I could hardly lift it.  Took about a week to dry out in a greenhouse.

I doubt it.

I don't know anything at all about your idea re switching  power supply to the relay.

But it sounds like you may be correct in suggesting an old anti theft device as being the problem.

Do you have still have the keypad for the anti theft device?  Originally fitted behind a pull down panel low down in the dash to the right of the steering wheel.

If it is this system, as fitted on my 1998 van, I believe the only way to permanently disable it involves physically breaking the "electrical apparatus" you mention.  I doubt there is a simple electrical hack to bypass it.  If you have discovered one, I am sure many, including me, would be very grateful.

I am wondering if someone may have changed the pump for one which can more reliably run on veg oil.  Without realising it they may also have fitted the business end of an engine immobiliser without fitting the means to disable it?

Please wait for someone better informed than me before you reach for the grinder.

There should also a bottom plastic nut.

The studs often strip off though so perhaps look out for a bodged fixing somewhere if it's not there.

Not sure if you need an auto electrician or an exorcist

Intermittent electrical problems are bad enough but such apparently unrelated ones are baffling.

The wiper parking position should I think be controlled mechanically by the position of the blade on the splines.  The motor has a fixed arc of travel and parking is decided by the position the blades are fitted.  Have you tried resetting the parking position and then checking the travel is ok?

The key fob sounds like a bad circuit in the fob.

The flashing lights though I think are defiantly a poltergeist.

Been quiet here lately but hopefully someone else may be along with suggestions.

I have mentioned in previous blower threads that even after replacing my blower (and resistor) unit I still get occasional power loss.  This is instantly cured by gently moving the thick stiff bundle of wires feeding it. 

So my problem is likely to be either a bad contact inside the block connector, or a break in the live wire bound up in the loom somewhere.  Both entirely understandable as I have suffered the waterfall through the blower from blocked scuttle drains in the past.  And that inflexible bunch of wires does take stick when camping gear is stuffed in the footwell.

I live with giving it a wiggle when required.

Not there myself yet, still in the Dales.  Will be up there by mid week.

No need to drop them off, it was just if you happened to be in the area.  I will be going to Peebles at some time while up that way so that might be best time.

That would be great, thanks.  No rush unless they are in your way.

I expect to be at St Mary's Loch from around the 12th Feb for at least a few weeks.  You could drop them off there if you happen to be on a trip.  Nice quiet pitch with hookup so no worries about split charge if you bring a fan heater.  All fees covered by me of course.

Otherwise I could come to you during that time.

In fact, considering the noise, I should probably have the CV too if it fits.

I think they are the same across :- 1.9TD 2.0 HDi DIESEL 1996-2006 but wondered if the ABS mattered.

Anyone confirm?

If you find any, bring me one back.
