Re: Rear wiper?

Thanks everyone, picked up an OEM version for £7odd today, I can't see how the bosch would improve the wipe. I wouldn't say so. What I find makes most difference is keeping the rear window squeaky clean. Yes I've noticed the same, I use Auto Glym Fast Glass and keeps the blade and glass super clean....

Re: Rear wiper?

Thanks everyone, I've superglued it for now and will see how that holds up. Is the Bosch noticeably better than OEM?

Rear wiper?

The rubber on my original VW rear wiper has started to come away from itself, causing a pour wipe. I've got Bosch 980S on the front & they're superb but can only find this one for the rear - http://bit.ly/zcwWSz" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Does anyone have any altern...

Re: Autoperfection Delays [Suggest You Avoid Them]

They stopped being good at the end of 2010. Lots of delays, no responses to emails or answer phone messages. It was rumoured that family issues were the problem with the company, however they never responded to anyone on the forum, if they had we would have understood! Eventually when I managed to g...

Re: Anyone on Google+?

Yes, I like it and can also see its potential to effect facebook, but will it be a flop like Buzz? Circles is awesome and pain free, unlike Facebook friend lists. Sparks seems like it wants to be Flipboard for the web, good concept. Could it replace Google Reader/iGoogle? Not sure if it will become ...

Re: False alarm

I presume you've checked that the air freshener isn't swinging freely! :D Sorry couldn't help myself, my alarm in the past has randomly gone off twice in 6 months, for no obvious reason. Is the car on a incline? Was it windy? If it persists then take it back to the dealer and demand your money back ...

Re: Macbook Pro's...Air's...

From what you have described you probably just need a Macbook (aka the cheapest device), but I understand the 'want' for a better device. Just go for the device you can afford, best to go into an Apple store and try them out and see which one you like, for instance a 13" screen for me is too sm...

Re: Problems with VW

I purchased a car direct from dealer, they said 1 previous owner, I imagined a similar person to me selling the car after a year or so. When I got the V5 paperwork it turned out to be a Hertz rental car! Dealers have lots of secrets! :)
