Are all Berlingo electrics this rubbish?
#1
Owned my Escapade for a few months now - fairly old at a 2004 year but with only genuine 80k miles and clearly looked after by previous few owners. 

However in my ownership the following electrical gremlins have occured;

Dead MAF (replaced with new OEM unit)
Missing digits on central information unit (replaced with a C5 display)
Bottom row of LCD digits missing on mileometer
Horn didnt work with ignition on (earth braid fitted to steering column)
Headlight levelling motors chirping and groaning away (apparently requires new switch unit)
Battery light came on miles from home and started losing 12v battery power - charged battery to get it home to repair and it was then fine (changed alternor anyway as a precaution)
Fuel gauge went up on one occasion but reset when brimmed
Due to above issue and monitoring fuel economy I noticed this tank full that the tripmeter has randomly added 100 miles and jumped from 299 to 400 missing out the 300's completely.
Rear tailgate interior lights dim really quickly - annoying when drying dog at night after a walk.
Radio stalk doesn't work (used replacement fitted also doesn't work)

I know 'French car electrics' and all that but this is getting annoying now - the mechanical bits of it are good and it's easy to work on but I can't see me keeping it much longer if this is going to be the experience of Berlingo ownership.
