    all cars do though
  • My 53-plate 1.6 was exactly the same. Windows used to go up and down whenever they felt like it.
    The car was in the local dealer 4 times in 1 week until I sold it.
    Sold it to a wee lassie who phoned me the next day to say the service light had come on. I felt terrible but I had my receipt stating sold as seen.

    They're totally rubbish. Really sorry. :o
  • Hi,


    I now have the exact same issues with AirCon, HRW, Front Windscreen Washer Motor and radio turning off etc. at the same time. :( Hot on the heels of my front window motor burning and filling the car with fumes! I will never buy French again, even when it's was at a good price from my own family!

    Anyway, Did any other those folks who had these issues ever get it tracked down to a particular issue?? I would appreciate a quick heads-up!

    also could be the wires that run by the side of the drivers seat have chaffed,
    also have a look under the nearside wheel arch in the headlight area,if you can see into the engine bay it could be water damage to the ecu unit in the engine bay

    I used to work for the AA

    Long shot but if all the electrics are going up the spout replace the battery. As strange as that sounds it's possibly the battery thats causing stuff to not work etc. Does the radio loose it's memory? If it does then it's a battery or alternator issue.

    This isn't gospel but try a new bat - I bet you don't even know when it was last changed

    .Does that mean we are all inbred
