    That's because you tried to use your washer fluid when it was frozen solid and you overstressed the pump, which in turn blew the fuse. Not a fault with the car im afraid.

    Have your wiper blades mysteriously fallen apart or the wiper arms bent to hell, when it's been frosty outside too?

    :rotfl:

    The system in the Astra/Zafira is a bit oversensitive to be fair. Pump must be running awfully close to it's 10A rating in normal operation if it pops the fuse so quickly and easily.

    Have you tried simply pressing down on the tailgate as you press the remote ?

    The fact that this was originaly an intermitant fault indicates it could be mechanically "stuck".

    If that works try an oil spray on the mech.

    Having said that it could be many things, ;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
