yeh its electric so cant recon, hence new dealer only.
not worth the hassle of buying a fucked 2nd hand one and finding out when fitting paid for..

My Astra had more problems in the 5k miles I did in it than my Clio which I have done 32k in the last year in.

French cars are not shit, fact.
Some cars are more unlucky than others, fact.
It is just a coincidence that this one is a french car. fact.

Pow you're wrong 
I'll tell you what happens, they lul you into a false sense of security and behave for a while, then when you think, actually it's not a bad car, that's when it kicks you in the gonads and robs all your money.
My brother had a 106 for 3 years, only part that got replaced other than service bits was the rocker cover gasket, he sold it too my cousin and she's had nothing but trouble, she's become almost a professional at being towed

£365 for a power steering unit, dont be daft mate, you'll pick one up from the brakers yard for £70 and it takes 30 mins to fit it.
I also never had to replace a single faulty part on my old 106 gti and I used it every day in all weathers fora year solid. Its just your donald duck when things go wrong with a car I had my ibiza cupra for 6 months and I had to spend £340 replacing parts on it
