RA problem

At my company we fly the 800 and 4 of our birds are same age as the THY
(2002).
We have been straggling with RA problems the last 5 years, each time with a different A/C.
RA showing -7, GPWS lng gr warning, NO AUTO ALTITUDE CALLOUT, Roll bars on FD of the affected RA dissappearing on VORLOC capture and pitch bars dissapperaring on GS capture.
Finally after landing most of the times we got PSEU light that went off once engines were shut down and PRG BRK was set!
Fortunately no uncommanded RETARD by AT ever occured!
Lastly my 2p regarding this issue.
At my company we used to operate Airbus were any FMA change had to be announced by the PF! This procedure was kept when the Boeing was introduced!
I find that this procedure can close gabs and reduce cock ups!
