Address it with the neighbour, its their responsibility then to tell their visitors really. If no luck id just continue to make it awkward for them which is a bit petty but they will get the message.

Bilt hamber auto foam or their touchless are very good at lifting most of the traffic film but as said they dont get all of it off. They are designed to help remove the worst of the dirt before a contact wash so you dont rub in any grit etc and cause marring to the paint.

Stick a hose on it whilst you sit in there to see. Can get in through the lights, boot seal number plate holes etc. The rear washer hose can detach too in a few places letting water in so just test that works ok.

Pm me some details on the car, I've had one and wouldn't mind another if it wasn't too rusty.

Go for a decent tyre such as the cross climate and no messing around needed swapping wheels.

Motorised mirrors would have the switches in plain sight usually on the door or dash area on the right hand side if fitted.

yep dont even attempt it yourself unless you plan to make it worse. I didnt think the paint was laquered on these cars but maybe its had paint before.

Private seller do you mean or car trader? If its the latter id take it back and ask them to resolve it, if the former your on your own im afraid. Very difficult to guess at a fault like this but i wish you luck.

You may find a standard hex key fits in too. (Allen key)

You could try a reboot by disconnecting the battery or finding and pulling the fuse/s Not sure if modern units are coded, this would be my only concern.

I would check the wiring loom to the door at the hinge area too, a common failure point. Double check the part numbers on the switch to see if they are the same.

See the other thread running about one if its the same sort of year. Id personally walk away from them and look for something else.

They are rubbish cars, we had a 2017 model and the engine shat itself at 42000 miles costing us £4000. Renault garbage engine. They do seem to be built with sub standard components for the size of vehicle.

Difficult to guess at really, if the engine runs then it may be worth removing the belt covers and seeing whats happened. Dont run it anymore though.

Check to see if anything is loose with the engine switched off first.

Id be concerned about the 1 new brake pad! Anywhere from £300 to £600 depending on the garage.

Are you performing the calibration procedure correctly? Put the window down and hold for a few seconds Put the window up and hold for a few seconds I believe you repeat this twice, if its still not right id try disconnecting the battery as suggested. Sorry if thats teaching you to suck eggs!

Gentlemans agreements with accidents are always on dodgy ground. Id want him to pay for the work personally but good luck with that, you may never hear from him again. Its not uncommon for them to blame the accident on you either so just take care.

What problems are you experiencing? Starter motors draw a lot more than 35 amps, especially on cranking, it can be 10 times that. Size of cable from battery to starter would need to fairly substantial, at least 50 mm squared at a guess.

walk away from it.
