couple of issues.

Ok, been a rough few months with my 2010 Clubman S. Last holiday I found out the battery dies if you don't start it often enough. So this Holiday I decided to outsmart the mini and disconnect the battery. Well when we got home I went to reconnect the lead and the bonnet latch wouldn't work. Thanks to Youtube I found a fix for it. What a little piece of brittle crap when it comes to the bonnet release mechanism! Does anyone have a fix for this issue?
Next my barn doors dont work all the time. The right with pop with the Fob but not the handle and the left only pops with the handle button every once in awhile. Read all the previous threads on this but I don't hear any sounds or motors so it seems to be some sort of electrical short. Also the rear wipers go crazy when you hit the button. Is there some sort of seal issue with the rear windows? I am really thinking about getting the new 2016 four door clubman but the little crap they over looked on these things is starting to bother me. Sorry for rambling.
Scotty
