No wipers, f+r, no centrel locking... all failed at once

Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Funnily enough, it was fine all the way there.... but as soon as they tested it it all went wrong. (lucky it did whilst it was there really). Results from their test shows the bsi is indeed shot. So it's now a case of waiting for them to get a new one in and fit it etc. Not cheap, but if it'll last I don't mind!

Thanks for getting back to us, sorry it was a bit steep.

You know, I'm still curious because all the faults were on one connector. Does anyone know what the inside of the dreaded BSI looks like?

Well they did the BSI, as in tested the car, confirmed it was the BSI, replaced the BSI and whilst it was in there they fitted a new door rubber to the sill of the passenger side, as it had fallen off and looked horrid just hanging around on the floor....

Total bill £559.34. inc the dreaded.

OUCH! :shock:

See, these malicious BAStuds build their cars with sub-standard crap that won't last the life of the car, then when it goes wrong they have the cheek to tear off your arm and your leg to pay for it. :evil: :evil:

Lifetime? Pah! All they care about is the first three years when it's under warranty, then it's another source of income.
