Hi these are common faults and when I have more time I will help you sort some out.meanwhile do a few searches and all the info you need will become available.At least its only minor things wrong mostly trim related.The bulb failure light will go on sometimes when using cheap bulbs or mismatched bulbs(quality wise)it is designed to measure the resistance in the circuit.Anyway we will soon sort out most of your woes.
Regards Brian.

3 horn doesnt work a meter across the wires at the horn will see if its the horn itself
4 the bulb failure warning light is lit but all the lights work except one of the fog lights!! but the bulb faliure light is on when fog lights are off!!
5 the rear hatch door doesnt catch when closing so it now shuts over but doest lock
6 how do i remove headlamp wipers as one is missing single nut on shaft after removing wiper arms nut
7 rear wiper doesnt work most probably the wiring has broken in the hinge ,the wires come up the nearside rear post ,the connectors are revealed removing the corner of the roof lining ,you can bodge with new wires byepassing the hinge or buy the looms online
8 how do i remove the rear bumper remove plastic parts (clips holding the plastic to the car a few underneath the bumper holding it to the ali part )then 4 nuts remove the revealed ali bumper while your there repair the probably rusty part of the car thats revealed

i have looked at the fuses and they all look fine. any help would be appreciated!!

Default Headlamp wipers

You may have to remove the headlamp wiper motors as the MoT testers might regard the shafts as a dangerous protrusion - I got a warning from my local MoT station with an earlier 245 for this.

Door opening - or not. Remove the door trim and check the links inside are all connected properly. At least the Haynes manuals have a clear drawing of the linkage.
