The engine system most affected by moisture is the high tension electrical system, so it is unlikely to be the starter or similar shorting out, but something like moisture getting into the distributor or coil. You might want to liberally spray any of the popular Water Dispersant (WDxx or similar) products on all your high tension components and leads. You can of course, spray the lower voltage components too, just for kicks. These Water Dispersant sprays are very inert so they are unlikely to cause harm, but will help keep moisture away and minimise the chance of shorts.

You will need to either buy the correct iso adapter or run ignition live to display wiring.

So the hydraulic clutch is keeping pressure on the fork and the throw-out bearing (U.S. slang for clutch release bearing?) or thrust bearing is always running against the fingers on the pressure plate, is that the problem? And of course it burns out the bearing rather quickly? You will have to examine all the parts, the slave cylinder and it's shaft, the fork and it's pivot point. Something in there not allowing the bearing to pull back far enough from the pressure plate so that it stops rotating. Is your pedal adjusted right? Maybe start there-the pedal has to allow a fraction of free play. Otherwise it is always putting pressure on the hydraulics.

Take it back. Sounds like the timing belt is off by 1-2 teeth

if you don't have a gas cap on the car or if it is on too loosely then that is a possibility. Only other thing I could think of would be water in your fuel. You may try a bottle of "heat" (I think that is how you spell it) at your local auto parts store and chunk it in the gas can. if there were any problems with water that should be the cure.

I know this is not the exact model of your car but it is very informative video on how to remove the coolant however the engine needs to be cold ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rj0PY8fXo4'' this next video is similar to the 2003 ford focus in how to remove the thermostat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljKQTzUCSnc in your model the actual thermostat is inside the housing so the whole housing unit looks like it has to be replaced .

I have no idea what you are saying is a hiccup.

Start out by diagnosing it it is the CD Player. Pull the fuse for the radio/cd and drive it for a few days (or whatever it usually takes to drain the battery) and if the battery doesn't drain, you know that's the problem. Call a dealership and ask if the problem has showed up as a recall item yet. I'm still getting free repairs on my daughter's 2001 BMW due to recall items.
