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).
