They did have a representative of the French car industry on Radio 4 this morning to explain why their cars have so many "first MOT" failures. Would have thought that would be obvious. ;D

My pre-facelift used to go through brake-lights like they were going out of fashion.

Never had any issues with steering though. Maybe it is how you drive it? Talking of which, I can guess why the tyres might be a tad high! ::)
