    tail door lock

    Sorry different series you have a diso 2 I dont think this is the same problem. If the lock is sticky may be worth removing it and cleaning it. No good using wd40 as this won't remove or loosen un the old sticky grease. Try using a grease remover like gunk or jeez if you can't get this white...

    Renewing break pads, caliper problems.

    for 30 would replace them not worth muking around with seal kits as you will have to spend some tedias time cleaning the pistons and then trying to get it all back working with out any leaks, and if it leaks on your wills for some time you will end up will corrosion as you probably know

    Coolant out the expansion tank

    If its coming out of the expansion over flow its most probably over boiling. This is usally a case of the cap not sealing properly as the system is suppose to be pressurised. Once pressurised water boils at a higher temperature. I noticed you have bought a cap good first place to start. Also...
