Afternoon all!
Not sure if this is the right forum...
I've got an 2013 i30, and the last MOT (actually CT, but more on that later) threw up quite a few problems that need resolving.
I'll spend a few hours browsing the forums, as I doubt my problems are unique...
1) The electric window on the passenger side will open, but not close again using the passenger controls. Any suggestions on whether I will need to replace the full unit, or I can just replace a paricular part? Full unit is around £150, and just the switch is around £10.
Could a non-mechanic replace these parts? (either the full unit or just the part). I guess there would be no harm in buying the cheaper part and seeing if it resolves the problem before splashing out on the full unit.
2) The car was a UK car, but now registered in France, and I have been advised that the headlights need replaced. This is despite the car passing the previous MOT / CT 2 years ago with £30 headlight beam deflectors. We argued the poing with the tester, but he was insistent that the headlights failed this time and the stickers weren't sufficient.
Anyone in the EU got any thoughts? Is it worth trying a different beam deflector before spending £400+ on new headlights?
3) Windscreen washer not working. I have purchased a water pump and hope this fixes the issue. Again, is there any possibility a non-mechanic could replace this part? I'm guessing not...
If the pump doesn't resolve the issue, what's the next most likely solution?
Really appreciate any advice offered.
Thansk,
