• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 00 1.8 rear wiper not wiping fully 25 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  When the rear washer was depressed the wiper would wipe across the window fully 5 times and then settle normally in the correct place but sometimes not. In searching I have found the most common fault is the relay?s, Ford Parts Centre insisted that this was the fault, I have changed both of the relays for the windows in the fuse box and still no difference. The next thing I changed was the rear wiper motor, this again made no difference.

  Hello all Honest John Forum fans! I’m the proud owner of a 2015 Mazda 3, which so far seems a solid car. I like it very much. The only thing I’ve noticed is that it feels happiest cruising at 70mph – it doesn’t seem to settle as well at 50–60mph on motorways.
