Gizzy, I think that'll be the route I go down tbh!
And Geoff, I believe it's 5L0071910, that's the Skoda part number, should be around £30 inc VAT

Thanks,
My friends worried how hard they are to fit? Im guessing yours is an 09 TDI SE like his, were they much trouble.

Its a 5 minute job and very easy to do.

Yeah make sure they're lined up and use a bit of wood and a hammer

Got the car back today, trying to change the the auxiliary belt to stop the squeak, possibly due to the fuel that was sprayed everywhere from the fuel filter when it was faulty.
I was out with the technician for about an hour regarding the clutch, he seems to think the clutch itself is fine, but does admit there's a problem, he's going to look at bulletins tomorrow, see if my car needs an ECU update and also get me a 110bhp 2.0TDI in to see if it's the same Really helpful chap
So wish me look, my wiper was also banging on the side of the window, they've had to order a new wiper mechanism due to the spline not being adjustable? Strange?

Sounds promising

With the wiper arm I'd take another look. Mine near side was resting too high. The car has had a replacement screen and when theyd put the wiper back on the had put it on slightly high.

I removed it and repositioned and it is now spot on.

The splines are very fine toothed and theh could reposition UNLESS the wiper is already at its lowest point when in the off/rest position?

I have noticed that my right hand wiper as you face the car is sitting quite high up the window, I believe this was caused by a build up of snow in the winter which stopped the wiper going right down, and it is now unable to bed down in its original place, any advice on how to fix it.

Amanda the arm might have bent slightly?

Put your wipers in the cleaning position (engine off then down flick on the wiper stalk). When they are at the vertical position gently push the passenger wiper towards the near side.

This may be all it needs?

[DRC]

Guess you could try that, but what if it just bends the passenger wiper arm too?
As Adrian said, I'm sure the spline is adjustable, I suspect in my case, they can't be arsed and just ordered the whole thing to make it easier then trying to 'fine tune'?

Wiper Blade not going completely down

Next mod;
I'm going to attempt to fit projection lenses into my halogen housing.
Now some may say, just buy the OEM projector lenses, but that'd be too easy
It won't happen until May time when am down at my dad's as he has the tools required, I think I'm gonna need about £300 to do it, but it'll be worth it
Just seems the only pain is the sealant, too high for ovens temps so I'll have to dremel it
