Yes, please do post a new question for fixation complet avec rail en aluminium et chaine

The télécommandes are remote controls for the garage door opener.

Clanola that website you gave me was great.

i had a good look and its really useful only problem is my mechanical knowledge is not great. Legal translator mostly!

what is the fixation complet avec rail en aluminium et chaine?
maybe i need to post it as a separate question.

is it just a rail made in aluminium and a chain? I really dont know!
walkerk (asker) Aug 19, 2010:
are the telecommandes not remote controls though?? thats wby i mentioned remote control

i thought it was all remote control operated
Bourth (X) Aug 18, 2010:
Infomercial warning Silly me! I took "this is integrated lighting on a car" at face value.

Dominator Garage Doors, my brother, who runs a garage door and door opener repair company, knows them well. If anyone in Christchurch NZ needs a garage door repaired, let me know and I'll put you in touch!
Travelin Ann Aug 18, 2010:
Good catch, Clanola -
Claire Nolan Aug 18, 2010:
Isn't this a kit for an automatic garage door opener (your text makes reference to remote controls)? This courtesy light would be overhead in the garage, I think, not inside the car.

Thanks, Clanola
agree chris collister : I've always thought "courtesy" lights a bit twee. Just "integral (rather than integrated) light" would do it for me.

thanks, your option works. "Courtesy" is a bit of marketing-speak

e.g.

Door map pockets with integrated courtesy lighting that complements two footwell lamps to make entry and egress easier and more convenient.

All Pathfinders also receive heated door mirrors with integrated courtesy lighting.

underbonnet light as standard OR built-in

While "courtesy lights" exist, I associate them with the passenger compartment. Even in the boot/trunk, I think I would call it a "boot light".

As for intégré, I wonder if it means it's a standard fitting (not an option), in which case it could also be said to be "built-in", though "built-in" could also be by contrast to "added by a subsequent owner".

Not sure what underbonnet lights say about the reliability of a vehicle. That Ladas have them must be telling us something.

However, "underbonnet light" appears to be said éclairage sous le capot or lampe sous le capot :

Said of an MGF (see above) :
L'éclairage intérieur comprend une LAMPE SOUS LE CAPOT, une lampe d'ouverture des portes et l'éclairage du compartiment des passagers. L'éclairage du compartiment du passager inclut des lampes jumelles au niveau du rétroviseur, l'éclairage de l'interrupteur d'allumage, la lampe de la boîte à gant et deux lampes de pied.
