    New special edition BMW's

    PNH80 Spot on I dont see what all the fuss is about for french cars. They need a lot of advertising when new and the classifieds are full of them used. poorly built cheap parts for premium prices bad electrics, poorly designed to work on generally (who else puts a handbrake adjuster under a...

    Ouch!

    All One thing springs to mind here if this is common then Fit for purpose springs to mind. secondly health and safety. if a product such as this where in the workplace it would be condemned. I would be inclined to take this to trading standards as a known fault which could result in serious...
