We had a Reich mover fitted to our van when new (2005) and which has performed admirably till this year when the remote has died. Sent it to Reich and was informed that it was indeed a goner, but with no other explanation or suggestion (not even buying another
from them). A replacement at £145 (Ebay)seems a bit excessive, does anyone know of a cheaper unit that will work. We still like the van and are unlikely to be changing it in the next couple of years, so I'm almost tempted to buy a new budget mover (with a
5 year warranty) and fit it myself. Are Reichs reliable beyond 8 years? Can't say I'm enthralled at the prospect of starting to replace bits and pieces on the Reich as it (possibly) continues to deteriorate. All help and suggestions gratefully received.
