the squib can be sourced new for 100gbp... and the rear module for 40€ both genuine items, so you have to find a new dealer who wont charge you a fortune ....

It's an old car (10 years is old).
Why not use second-hand or reconditioned parts?

Sorry - hadn't noticed your location!
Still, look on the positive side.. you could be in England.. it was snowing this morning 26 April, and I got soaked walking to the train station..

Well it is the diamond of doom...
Every on thinks the sensors on the a pillars are ultrasonics... wrong! They are wealth sensors, they sense how skint you are and adjust the braking parts accordingly to make sure what breaks next keeps your bank account just in the red. Thats renault for you.
The passenger one reads friend's n family just incase you borrow money to fix it off them.
As for rear windows well I sure they where designed to drive you nuts pre programmed in the temic work ok for a few months andddd do his head in then back to ok again. :devil

We know the feeling of overpriced Cars and Parts,we are in France-it's a French car as well!-I get mine sorted when we do our UK trip every year it almost pays for it! lot of locals go to Spain or Andorra to get spares and cars as they are nearly half the price as it's only about 60 Km. good luck and enjoy.
