I once had a dodgy fuel gauge too and I got round it by taking note of how many miles, roughly, a full tank did then zeroed the trip meter each time I refueled and refueled within 50-odd miles of that mileage. Became quite easy to do and indeed to this day I tend to still zero the trip every time!
Tailgate - wouldn't have thought the buzzing and the broken lock are related.
Regarding the wipers - there is a buzzing noise when reversing because normally when you reverse, with the front wipers on, the rears flick-wipe across automatically, and the noise you're hearing is the motor trying to do just that.
These wipers motors aren't the most reliable units - indeed we've just changed ours. Not terribly expensive (c.£35) but worth solving if you can.
Tip - while you have the rear panel off sorting out the lock and rear wiper, it may pay to replace the number plate lights as these (on ours anyway) are released by gently squeezing together the little tabs at the rear of the holders and pushing outwards. If you're rough you'll break them and they won't fit very well afterwards - ask me how I know.....!
Good luck.
