  • Honda Jazz/Fit (2001 - 2008) - 06 1.4 window misting 26 Dec 2008 (Forum)
    My wife's honda jazz mists up very quickly in this damp cold weather, front screen and side windows. I have read the honda response on HJ's review page, and just wondering how bad it has to be before new winscreen seals are required. On long journeys it's a pain to have the heating /AC on hot all the time.

    Calling all owners/drivers of a current Mondeo. Can anyone tell me what the 2 switch blank positions to the right of the heated seat controls in front of the gear lever are please.

  • Vauxhall Astra H (2004 - 2009) - 04 1.6 Windscreen wipers 5 Jul 2008 (Forum)

  • Windscreen disc clutter - the Law ? 21 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    I have very great respect for the BRs who regularly advise on traffic law. I was once told to remove discs from my windscreen to get the car through the MOT. The tester said that only certain discs could be displayed. Can anyone refer me to the clause ? My employer wants me to put the company permit on the windscreen, and I want to put it on the rear sidescreen where it won't restrict vision.
  • Rain sensing wipers/ new windscreen 23 Jun 2005 (Forum)
    Hi Folks, I would be grateful for a bit of advice please. Driving under a bridge last night when a piece of masonry fell from the bridge and cracked my windscreen. I was considering replacing the windscreen myself rather than go through the insurance (and loose my NCD). My car has those rain sensing wipers, so I was wondering if they are likely to add to the cost of replacement significantly ?
