All is good fuse wise but the original 9 year pump is cutting out and not always working. How important is this pump during driving? . I know it's purpose after stalling the engine . But my mechanic reckons it's important while driving too. What to do? Repair? Replace? Any truth in it's...

Electric mirrors wouldn't fold out or adjust at the weekend - which meant I had to drive the entire journey as I didn't want to crack the glass by moving it manually - is this OK? Then noticed all four windows had stopped working, along with courtesy light, headlight warning alarm, boot light...
