Nice work mate, and thank you a lot for your "how to fix your windscreen wipers" it was a great help removing mine, I have never been able to remove mine.


I'm delighted for you, I didn't expect anyone to find it that useful. We've had a long spell of rain here this week. So I've been enjoying mine.
