Could be a long shot, but there have been a number of reports on this forum of weird electrical behaviour as a result of water leaks to the driver footwell from the rear screenwash pipe located in the offside A-pillar affecting various electronic boxes. The joint can leak if the pipe freezes

Rear screen washer failure.

I am hoping to pre-empt this screen wash leak on my MG5 Trophy LR by securing the A-pillar connection before it leaks. There seem to be at least three 'mechanical' means to do this: 1) cable ties 2) 0-clip which are crimped in place 3) spring clips I have read of a couple of occasions where...
