Failed door lock

[Tim Green]

As mentioned a few week's ago, the offside rear door lock completely failed with the car about a year old and 5000 miles. The door could not be opened by using either inside or outside door handles, which is obviously a safety issue. The supplying garage took 2 weeks to get the appropriate parts and had to remove the internal door panel from inside to achieve a repair -must have been a real hassle. All working ok now, all done under warranty.

This back order of parts is a concern...2 weeks is not bad but some people have to wait 2 months.

Should the UK dealer network stock up on some common parts?
