    Where's the squirty thingy then?

    where the wiper arm meets the blade is a small block. this has four holes in it. unfortunately the easiest way to get to it, repairs, ie sticking a pin in the holes to unblock them or to replace the arm is to first remove the spare wheel.

    too late with the reply but "dont remove the door fittings" cut the pipe leaving about 4" sticking out of the door. connect the new pipe to this using a one way valve pipe connector. jobs a good un. sorry !!!!!

    Radio = bad reception !

    yes found this out when the telephone kit was fitted through the stereo. after an hour of bending and pushing wire and coathangers we contacted l/r, 2.5mm allen key was the answer. mine is the standard stereo not the hk should that make a difference.

    rear wiper half cocked

    i had this problem and found that the arm had broken at its hinge, possibly from being cloated with the spare wheel. have a look and see if it is catching on the window rubber at the bottom, if it is it will push the wiper out at the top.

    12v cool box

    have just bought a 12v cool box rated at 4.5amps. it has a vehicle battery protection circuit that switches it off if the battery runs below a certain voltage (11.7 +/- 0.2) although there are two 12v sockets in the car none are constant live, so any engine off charging is not possible. i would...
