Re: Really good?

Nothing new there. I had a PoS 2003 Renault that would regularly shed pieces. The window lifter would often break which was due to a small weak connector allowing parts to come apart. The didn't sell the connector only the whole windows lift mechanism. Same with the clutch pedal. It broke at a hinge point they wanted £200 for new clutch pedal mechanism.

I'm sure these faults could be fixed easily with someone mechanically minded. For me the window was done under warranty so cost wasn't an issue and the clutch went the week before it was traded in (fixed with cable ties).

I've a BMW now and everything for it needs coded to the car as well. Independent dealers can do this but obviously it cuts down choice.
