Neighbour's son went to start a 9 mth old Citroen C4 Picasso of his late dad. Failed to start - battery was connected to the charred remains of cables. The car was exceptionally low miles due to illness.
Are cars becoming too reliant on electronic gizmos and therefore prone to problems or is it the gremlins of the Citroen of old?

Calm down everyone. Typical of the BBC to big this up. See:

Very few of the 170,000 + UK owners have reported the window switch fault.

Its not only the Japanese companies, Ford recently recalled many Mk2 focussssus for a fire hazard.

Typical Honda. Always trying to better Toyota, but not quite making the mark...

As a staunch luddite, the moral that I have decided to draw from this story is that one should always choose wind-up windows in preference to electric ones.

That'll be the Jazz 1.2S, then, totally unaffected by the recall.
