Did you ever buy a car that no matter what you did it just didn't want to be fixed?.begging to think this 960 is one of them.

1 Sunroof, still leaking even after numerous attempts to stop it.
2 Central locking still not working despite 3 different alarm relays and two
different fobs being tried.
3 Attemped to fit an outside temp sensor and after two hours work fitting the
guage on the dash the wiring snapped(twice) while fitting the simple to fit
sensor.
4 After replacing the rear leaf and both rear shocks the rear suspension still
has a knock coming from somewhere.
5 After respraying the rear quarter and the rear door when I first bought it I
had some idiot run into it on that side recently.
6 After having a mirror on the passenger side that didn't heat up I tried to
change it today, thinking it was like the 850 I pulled the mirror lens off
quickly to unclip it and snapped half the fixings off the back, spent ten
minutes swapping the workings over from the spare that I had then
attempted to re fit it, manage to get it partialy mounted to then crack the
new mirror down the middle. I'm now left with the old mirror back in place
but now loose at one side because the fixings are broken.
7 Despite several failed attempts one side of the rear suspension still sits
higher than the other...

Do you think if I give it some blood it'll behave itself?......
