The red car had a sequence of faults recently. The rear wiper stopped working. Then the tailgate wouldn't open. Now one of the rear lights has conked out.
It's had repairs from the friendly small garage, but it is obvious that the wires to the tailgate have frayed and are failing sequentially.
I can remember visiting car production lines and seeing that wiring was one of the more labour intensive tasks in a largely automated process. Each custom assembled car had a few crates contains relevant wiring harnesses delivered and then threaded by individuals working along the skeleton vehicle.
So now it is time for a dealership repair, although they've (gulp) quoted for a new wiring harness.
We're getting it done although I'm irritated that a new modern car would have this kind of fault, which is apparently quite common across several makes of very well-known cars.
A case of deliberate revenue generation?
