Ive got one of these in stock. Older shape so phase one I believe.
Wiring/electrics!..
Had a few issues with it. The uch unit gets wet and causes faults, the combi switch failed, something was draining the batt and airbag faults to name a few.
Good luck.

this one is on a '03 plate so electrics may be better on new ones.

I owned a 03 plate Megane for 11 weeks at the end of 2007.
Rejected it to the finance company.
23 major faults in 11 weeks!!
9 needed recovery.
Gremlins all over the car.
Electrical for the most part, horrible car.

Well we've been.. we looked.... we walked.

My brother is great - opened the drivers door and when it dropped didn't even batter an eye lid.

There is no hope for the future if this is what the world is giving us!
