Question 300td

Good afternoon everyone. First I would like introduce my baby. I just got her 2 weeks ago and recently knew about this excellent forum. She is a 1983 300TD with 275,000 miles.
Now on to the problems that I notice.
1) The rear hatch doesn't lock with the rest of the doors.
2) The previous owner said that something is blowing the fuse to the rear wiper when it is plugged in. Is there a common problem to this part. When I turn the rear wiper by hand it moves easily.
3) The rear is lower than the front and when I searched the archives here, it stated that I have a self levelling suspension. I didn't know this and didn't expect it to be expensive. I thought just to replace shocks.
4) My tach is erratic. Sometimes it goes to 6000 rpm and sometimes it just stays at 0 rpm and sometimes it goes up and down. My tach jumps when I press the horn.
5) The driver seat is lower on the left than on the right part. Is there a fix to this problem. Also the passenger side seat belt doesn't lock into the part bolted to the seat.
That is all for now, hope to hear from the great people here.
Thanks in advance for the help and info to my problems.
