    afternoon all -

    snags i can relate with the Xsara wipers issue... mine was a problem, Big G got me a replacement one, and when i was doing thechange over, a wee piece of plastic snapped off, and since then they have been held on with lots of hope and 6metres of black insulating tape... MOT in a couple of months and i just know it's not gonna pass on that point and a million others!!

    Let me know if the flat blades things are any good, and if they are easy fitted to the existing arms or where? as i think it is the top part of the arm that has snapped on mine, so might not work for me? i wonder?

    Sally - a snooze in the sun?! i cant remember the last time i felt the sun on my face....

    Claire - definitely encourage Nathan to drink more in the day, set him challenges and then he will drink less in the evening, i bet when he comes home from school he is thirsty.... and it could be as simple as too much fluid in the evening is compounding his problem....

    Plus his bladder/brain will then learn the full signals during the day and process them at night better....
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Maz, if it's only plastic that has broken off, then they will be fine. You take the whole thing off and replace it - the wiper clips onto the hooked metal thing underneath the plastic.

    That's the reason I was replacing mine in the first place - broken bit of plastic clippy thing.

    Have found an opening in the boot that leads to the broken indicator, but have no clue how to replace the bulb. Back to Google I think. :o
