Default 4 small but annoying problems

Hi All,

just bought my first Focus which has come with a couple of glitches, hence now registered on the site. All advice welcome.

1) Dashboard 'door open' light.There appears to be a problem with it still showing a door open, when all are shut. This is linked to the boot. Does something in / near boot latch need cleaning? Sometimes it goes off, uually when I manually open the boot, as opposed to using remote.

2) After driving the car and get out, if I touch the car door straight away I get a small electric shock. Is something wired up incorrectly or are the foot rest mats from Halfords to blame?

3) CD6000 - terrible interference on MW - would a suppressor help? The guy at car parts shop said it is very dangerous to attach to a Focus alternator.

4) Internal scratch on windscreen. Looks like a lady wearing a diamond ring has gone to de-mist the windscreen and left a nice arc scratch on the inside. There are some kits you can buy off ebay that you attach to a drill - anyone used this to polish out scratch? Would anything else work? I looked into getting new windscreen thru insurance but it would cost me £70 AND my bno claims would be frozen.

Thanks in advance!
