Battery drain from parasitic electrical draw
Faulty modules (like alarm or body control unit) or corroded earth straps keep drawing power when parked, flattening the battery overnight. · Typical repair: £100-250 (new battery + diag/earth clean; £400 if module fault).
Rear suspension knocking (trailing arm bushes and anti-roll bar links)
Rubber bushes on rear trailing arms and droplinks wear prematurely, causing play. · Typical repair: £200-400 (bushes + links, both sides; poly bushes optional for longevity).
Power window regulator failure (front doors)
Plastic runners/gears in door regulators snap from age/use, window drops or won't move. · Typical repair: £150-300 per door (regulator swap, indy garage).
Heater matrix leak (cooling system, non-engine)
Plastic end tanks crack, coolant leaks into cabin via HVAC. · Typical repair: £400-700 (matrix + dash removal, often 6-8hr job).
