The above happend on 18thJan2005 it took 2months for local dealership in Preston to repair it.

Windscreen wipers have all perished. Only dealership stock them, so have to pay top price £43.00.
I have enjoyed the car, it's nippy,handles well, sharp brakes. The only fault it's a bit sluggish when starting off between 1st and 2nd.
Agree with most comments, item about cost of wiper blades is misleading. I have the same C3 and wiper refills are available at all my local car parts stores for about £5.
