Was advised (not noted) to change drivers wiper.

Service carried out a few weeks before MOT and front and rear pads changed at Kwikfit, Brake service was properly carried out, so no issues with parking brake. As with Astras (same parking brake mechanism) some issues can be found with that point.

As I have stopped driving for the moment (living in walking distance of shops and work for youngrovergirl) have decided not to change car and therefore not give 20% to chancellor.
