My BMW X3 makes a clutch noise when pressing the pedal slightly. What could be wrong?

Hi, the control unit / window motor in my 2002 Skoda Octavia 1.6 petrol seems to be dead. It's affecting the central locking and mirror adjustment etc. It's a minefield getting a seconhand replacement unit as it has to come from an identical car: ie has to have rear electric windows, no sunroof, electric mirrors etc. Am I better off just biting the bulletand stumping up for a new part from Skoda?

Thanks, Alan

Hi, I have a 2008 Suzuki SX4 1.6 DDiS. It would not start recently so I towed it to the garage. Eventually I have been told that the ECU is dead and needs a new one, which must be done in a Suzuki garage. I am waiting on a final price but have been told they are expensive. Is it worth trying to source a second hand or reconditioned one if they exist?
