dont let your rear wiper seaze!!!!
« on: 27 May 2006, 19:08 »
well driving home in the rain during the week, rear wiper packs up, smell burning so its toast, i think its old so its probably just had its day, spent this morning getting the car ready for the mot, undo the rear wiper fixtures and fittings, replace the motor, and still the wiper doesn't turn, touch the new motor and its hot to touch, turns out the the spindle the actual wiper sits onto had seized in its sleeve, i couldn't even turn it by hand, re greased at put back together its all working lovely jubbly, so if you wiper running slower than normal it might be on its way out.

car failed the mot  :cry: good news it was just a number plate bulb  :grin:

done 23K since that last one, so hopefully another 23k over the next year will take me up to 220K miles, scary to think that in the last year I've spent over 3 grand in petrol :shocked:



car passed MOT today so at least thats a result, done 23K since that last one, so hopefully another 23k over the next year will take me to 220K miles, scary to think that in the last year I've spent over 3 grand in p
