• Things that don't happen anymore.. 28 Jun 2003 (Forum)

• Nissan Note - Metallic chain like rattle. 5 Feb 2013 (Forum)

• Vauxhall Zafira A (1999 - 2005) - 04 2.0DTi Mod to improve wiper coverage. 13 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  Once I was happy with this I then refitted the passenger wiper with a 24" blade. The right edge of the passenger wiper (looking from the front of the car) almost touches the driver wiper Unfortunately the other end of the passenger wiper doesn't lie flat, but does sweep right up to the "A" pillar and the blindspot is reduced (still that thick "A" pillar!)
