Problems with our recently purchased used Range Rover

We recently purchased a 1998 Range Rover, 4.6L V8. During the test drive every thing worked fine. Since buying it, it is having several problems which seem electrically related. The fuse box in the passenger seat keeps blowing the 30 amp fuse in slot #F2 as soon as it is put in. The passenger seat will not adjust. The rear wiper comes on when setting the lock with one remote. The EAS and Fuse 10 failure message continues to display in the dash board center. The radio is locked and will not reset with the 3 second pressing of button #4 as described in the manual. Any advise would be most welcome as we will be taking this vehicle overseas shortly.

I have a water leak!

When you purchased the vehicle, was it in good working order ? Did you start it and drive it long enough to make sure the vehicle was good.
If the engine and head are original, could be that the head gaskets might of been installed incorrectly. However, it sounds like you might have other problems.

What causes the windshield wipers and the center locking system to stop work at the same time in a 2004 range rover

These tow accessories are controlled by a centralized electronic module referred to as the BCM (body control module), it has self test capabilities and it can run a self test of its functions and report in the form of codes what problems it sees during its own test. You need a special scanner to tap into the test mode, so the dealer needs to do the test. It of course is best if the problem is occurring when the dealer testes the system or you will get it back with a note of NPF, no problem found.
