Thanks for the thought frank,
406 cables are too short mate,

Re:Breaker picasso
ive thought about that but there going for £550 -£600 ,
and idont want anymore breakers tbh ive got a yard full late model cat-c write offs at the moment, as im doing storage for a insurance company,

That sounds interesting, so if you have to store a picasso are you allowed to get parts off it, or does it have to be sold?

no mate im not allowed to touch them , ican move them round the yard thats as much as iget involved with them,
its mainly 08plate onward cars that come here, no picasso or 406s

[FarmerPug]

Ah i see, do they eventually get sold on again or return to their owners?
I suppose its a good way to get a look see about newish cars.
My cousin got an 08 clio recently a damaged one, but its been great repairing it back to good condition, i normally would think to avoid a damaged car, but other than the door, and wing the structure of the car is perfect.

ive stopped getting involved with them tbh,
My mate has dealings with a insurance company and he brings the motors here but just lately hes gone abit arogant dont know what his problem is,
at one stage we wouid agree on the odd car here and there but ichoose just to keep out of it now,
ijust start them up now and again to keep the batterys charged thats it realy,
iget a few £ every month which helps with the cost of running this big old house,

alot of cars just get wrote off because of the cost of parts, also the engineers report plays a vital part in the loss adjusters decision, they take as less as 5mins to do a report.

about your window, the dealer does the part but is there any other manufacturers or shops that sell it cheaper, here is some off the europarts website:

Why not look into the part from a Nissan Amera Tino, they are supposed to have the Picasso body shell or at least very close to it.

These guys are not far from you.

[FarmerPug]

are you sure the nissan shares parts with the picasso and not the renault scenic, its just strange that psa would share parts with anyone to do with renault. although they did share the prv and douvrin engines.

Got another mech today, luckily one had just been brought into a yard 03 plate, was going to go get one from stealers talk about lucky

if it breaks again its staying broke,

[FarmerPug]

that probably beats going to the dealers, how much did the breakers charge?

but out of curiosity would none of these new parts not have solved the problem?

they are dearer than the breakers, but cheaper than the stealers.

[lozz]

only paid, £10 for it, or atleast half of it,
ijust told them ineeded the cables, flung the rest of it over fence and found it later on,

theyd of most probs asked £45 or more for it all,
