Is there any trouble with the electric windows or the lock barrel?

If they don't work perfectly the mechanisms could be loose. You need to get a star-shaped screw driver usually to take the panel off (usually have a 'pocket' to take of the bottom first). Just give things a slight pull to check the strength. If you find the problem you may  be able to fix it yourself for a huge boost in ego :p

Kids today just don't know the value of money. Try getting a car fixed at a reputable garage for cheaper... Renault wanted £66 just to put a machine on my car to re-programme the central locking code to the same as the one on my key... whether it worked or not :-|

Neither have I. I just ask a friend I work with usually (he works in the Motor Vehicle section of a college).

It's really simple. (Easier than changing a wheel) Imagine they're normal screw and you're just unscrewing something else.

I'm not cool through what I say, I'm cool because of the things I do. Not to turn this into a popularity contest though (Should I even really use the word contest?), seeing as you're not old enough to drive (or know anything fucking about it), why don't you just stay quiet until someone makes a post about something you understand, but I doubt people will post blank messages ^o)
