Issues with window regulators, central locking, and dashboard warning lights can occur with age.
Maintenance Recommendations
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial for 0.8L engines (interference engine). Typically every 60,000 miles or 4 years. Check manual for specific interval. M100/M150 0.8L (F8CV) IS an interference engine. Later 1.0L (F10D) engines may be non-interference or have different intervals.
