Firstly new battery as the previous Bosch Silver starting to have problems giving enough current as I thought starting has been sluggish lately and the first cold wet Autumn day and no start. Amazing what a difference a new battery makes in the starting department. Bosch lasted about 7 years and 170,000 miles.
Then replaced the driver’s side electric window motor which packed up at the start of the summer so not been able to put my window down all summer. That had the potential to be a real pain of a job but there's a few good Youtube videos showing how to do it so was able to do that in about an hour.
Then decided to sort out the rear window wiper on my V40 which hasn’t been cleaning the rear screen properly for about 5 years. Followed the excellent guide provided by Gatos which sorted the problem with by filing a couple of mm off the wiper arm.
Think i’ve earned a couple of shandies now.
