It's worth maybe about $8000. I've spent $2000 recently on fixing two oil leaks and other intermittent problems. Now I think the air conditioning is stuffed.It doesn't cool like it used to, and there was a horrible grinding noise when I switched it off. The wipers wipe every now and then even though they are switched off. At night the headlights go off for a second whenever I go over a bump. I think it needs a new computer for the lights.
Apart from that it is a very nice car!

Yes and no its not just a car every car is not built the same. So make and model!
The good news is the air conditioning is apparently reliable.

The headlight issue sounds like it's due to a lack of headlight fluid. You should probably get it flushed.

I'll take it to an auto electrican and suggest that I'll pay him if he fixes it. Otherwise I wont.

a jag! i can tell you what the problem is water is getting in to the fuse board. that is causing symptoms like you discribe. water usually enters the car on faulty windscreen seal.

Fuse board is in the boot and it's nice and dry. Whatever is driving the headlight relay is making it go off. I think it's the computer. Seems like a loose wire somewhere to me.

Something makes the wiper wipe randomly when it's switched off. Is that an earth too! I could wire up my own switches to the headlights and wiper, but surely someone could find the problem! I used to be able to fix most of my cars but this has computers in it.

Yes. Does that make a difference! It's gone well for a couple of years until now.

Yes.High humidity can increase the chance of electrical problems down the track.
