Please Please can anyone offer any help

Hello i can help you with question three. The problem there will be your heater control valve i had the same problem on my fiesta. i don't if its in the same place on the ka but if you open the bonnet and look right at the top by the windscreen if its in the middle there you will see like black thick pipes they are your heater control valve.

Hope that helps sorry i can't help you with the rest but what i can suggest is the heating elements on the rear window have you checked to see if none of them are broken.

2 check fuses & make sure the wire is still attatched to the heater matrix in the rear window

sometimes the wire breaks in the boot lid from car body to boot lid & check the heater elements.

if any are damaged you need to repair them.

you can get a sort of paint pen for this just ask your local Halfords or motorman

not sure on 3
