I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. It could be a broken wire on the demister. The radio could be a failing antenna聽

Yep, came up with the fault code B126514

Definitely sounds a wiring issue then. Might be worth removing the trim in the boot to inspect the wires

So I removed the trims, and everything was disconnected. 聽I鈥檝e reattached everything and all is working. 聽I noticed there are amplifiers on both sides, but there is only a suppressor on one side. 聽Don鈥檛 know if that鈥檚 right or not. 聽Not sure why they have been disconnected. Can only assume it was done when the back window was tinted.
