What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alarm switch and central locking on drivers side does not work. Every time that I get in or out of the car I have to walk round to the passenger side and lock/unlock the door to prevent the alarm going off. The dealer has looked at this problem 4 times and I think I have more of a clue than he does !! Nothing wrong apparently !

Back screen wiper switch is eratic, switches on and off at will.

When driving along with dip head lights on, main beem comes on on its own, 6 times to dealer. Same response. Crap is what I say.

General comments?

I love this car like I would love a big spike up my bum.

I too am having lots of head aches regarding the alarm.

If I open the drivers door, the alarm/immobilizer module clicks repeatedly.

I have now also got a failed starter motor which I am told could be due to the alarm/immobilizer fault.

If I open the car via the passenger door I get no clicking.

I am worried about splashing out on a new starter as I fear it will pack up again.

If I had a gun I am not sure who would die first... me or the car!!!
