Weird Electrical Faults

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated here as the dealer is unable to find a fault with my Sept 06 MCS!!

Whilst driving the wipers work at random intervals when not switched on!

Flatt battery but FRONT sidelights are on and windows jolting up and down?
the clock disappears from the display and temperature reads -23.5

After jumpstart from MINI assist the mileage changed from 1723 to 1923 miles!
Then when switch engine off power steering still working and temperature then shows 23.5 !

At other times i have turned engine off and removed key and power steering still working and no steering lock comes on??????? KEYS ARE IN MY HAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dealer unable to fault and as problem is so intermittent they have never witnessed it happen!
Although 2 MINI assist techs have now!

The windows open at random times on their own and also when unlocking car it locks itself immediately??

Car has had a o/s/f door lock and still not cured

Just had a new Rear view mirror as central door lock control unit in there and still not cured!

A new BC1 has just been fitted and the issues are worse now!! there is no sign of water ingress anywhere!

Earth points have been checked and cleaned too.

MINI assist have just been to car as it has a dead battery again, the windows are down! the radio has come on by itself and the alarm sounding!
After about 10 Min's the sidelights came on when they are switched off and then the Xenon headlights started flashing about 5 times from side to side(first the left one and then the right one then the left etc!)
The poor MINI assist guy was dumbfounded!!

I have now been able to get video evidence of this happening and asked the dealer to send a tech out to witness this ' We haven't got anyone available but you can book it in in3 weeks if you like

Ive had to carry jump leads with me since November and have to beg passing motorists for a jump start when all goes wrong as MINI assist can take up to 3 hours to attend!

I'm now unable to attend the Guildford run as MINI assist have eventually agreed to trailer the car to the dealer in the morning instead of just jump starting me and sending me on my way!

Any ideas anyone?????? Please............................
