Leaks & Noises
The electric windows on my galaxy have suddenly stopped working. Air con packed up last year and now now windows in summer is not funny.
Have also suddenly found that the double lock technique with the cebtral locking is also not working, the car unlocks itself. I have to lock the drivers door from the inside for the car to lock.
If I use the remote key fob the alarm goes off with no pattern at all.
advice please?

Could be this known fault on that car ?
I've had my Galaxy for over 4 years, and wouldn't go back to a "normal" car. But I've also had a recent water leak problem. If the drains from the windscreen get blocked, the build-up of water can get in to the passenger side through the air intake. In my case, this got under the passenger seat to the well where the control box for the electric windows sits. This must be a common problem, as the guy at the garage knew just where to look. It cost around £180 to replace the unit. He also removed the rubber flaps in the drain channels, as they had stuck nearly shut.
