    OK, so the back driver window on my 00 Jaguar S-Type disappeared this morning. Had to go to the main dealer - the one in Sandyford, no names :pac: - and got charged €255.

    I was stunned. Thought I'd be paying no more than €80 or €100. Couldn't believe it. I'd asked him in advance how much it would cost, he couldn't even give me a ball-park.

    Am I over-reacting?

    Sounds ok to be honest for a main dealer - especially on a Jag. Have heard people paying as much on Meganes...

    If you shopped around you may have gotten it cheaper but it's fixed quickly now...

    You pay premium prices at the main dealers. Did they replace the motor or just the actual regulator itself ??

    Its €250 + VAT for a drivers one on a Mondeo, got a reconditioned one instead from the UK for £30

    Dealer once quoted €285+VAT for a Megane regulator, then he was nice enough to discover it was covered under warranty so it cost me €0, which I have to say I was very happy to pay :D

    Jag price sounds good, even if VAT is on top.

    Hang on a minute ... you say your back driver(-side) window disappeared :confused:
    What do you mean by "disappeared", is the glass gone or just it stopped opening/closing?

    You can smile now but you can ne sure that once the warranty is up you'll be paint the full amount more than once...
