Having a good think about selling up. Thinking along the lines of BMW x5 3.0 twin tdi m-sport, BMW m5, Range Rover 4.2 tdi, touareg R50

Were you surprised?

In a way, yes! My previous leon was never that bad. It looks as though the clip at bottom centre had popped off so all water was dripping in. That coupled with the car sat outside for the last two weeks when it chucked it down, has caused quite some mould!

Also forgot to say I got a new set of front wiper blades. Bosch ones from euro car parts for £26.10 :)

In on my second pair in 4 months and I think there poor. Passenger side always no matter if its raining heavily/lightly/only washer fluid it smears it. I have tried cleaning the blades and where they sit properly but still have problems. Drivers side is perfect.

Hmm thats weird, everywhere I looked reckoned the Bosch ones were the best! I tried them with the screen wash and they were perfect, we'll see what happens in a few months!

Is the arm and springs and pivots and all that ok? It may affect the way the blade sits against the screen.

+1 ... was cleaning/poilishing mine last night and noticed the offside wiper was a bit looser than the other (been smearing a bit too) and found the retaining nut had worked loose ;)

wortha check :) ... also washer fluid can imulsify into a horrible sludge at the bottom of the tank ;)
