It has been a couple of weeks with the 2005 S Type and I have made more local trips that in the last six months just for the pleasure of driving this car. I am also noticing a few things that either need attention or just my education so maybe someone can help a little.

While in reverse, the alarm is on the whole time. At first I thought it was telling me the garage wall is close but it sounds off even when in an empty lot. Is this normal?

I noticed the driver door rubber seal that attaches to the body is damaged. I looked on several web sites for parts without any luck. Is there a good source for parts?

This is for the driver side inner seal that passes beneath the
plastic threshold plate. No tools required.

I am far from being a mechanic and when I purchased my car I figured it just needed a bulb replaced. After getting the inside carpet down I noticed someone had replaced the connection before and to say the least the new bulb wont work. How do I check the electrical charge to where the bulb goes ? I figured a few dollars for a new bulb now I'm seeing more issues. Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated. The dash says L H failure ,which I figured bulb ,however it also says low coolant. The dealer said it needed some sort of sensor but since I purchased from a used dealership, I'm screwed. Thanks
