Unhappy

Hiya,

Is it me or are Subaru electrics approaching becoming as bad as french cars? Why do I make this terrible statement?

1. Invariable one sidelight does not work, give it a tap and it's fine.
2. One PIAA wasn't working when I got the car, assuming a bulb had blown I left it, tried it again this weekend and both are working ! :-/

So, what tales do you have and is it as common as I suspect it is?

Question

Hey you jest at tapping the side light to make it work, but beware the side light lense only takes so much 'tapping' before it breaks, ooopps!! For future ref approx £50 from your local dealer!!
