Whoops. Correction to my PS re wiper blades above. Having looked at them properly this time I see that they have several pairs featuring two different length wipers. Unfortunately, the ideal length combo for the V40 was not present when I looked but I've bought a few pairs which between them will provide the right spares for both my V40 and my mum's Saxo too (which I also maintain). Now I've got some I see that the single "cover" which was puzzling me is a removable spoiler for enhanced contact on the drivers side which makes sense now. They seem to be very good, tested by Germans and claiming some nice stuff -

Got the ole BiFuel through it's annual test (at the second attempt). Too many exhaust pipe minor leaks! Replaced the middle section which I'd had since mid 2015.

I need some new tires for my V40. I was wondering if 205/55 R16 tires would fit on a Phase 1 V40 or would they rub against the bottom of the strut?

They'll be fine I'm sure. I use 55 on my Craters. Usually cheaper and a slightly softer, less twitchy ride than the 50. Plus the speedo is then more accurate.

Your V40 is Phase 2 car, they changed the suspension for the P2 and I believe they can fit higher profile tires because of that. What about Phase 1 cars, any rubbing?

She's broke
It turns out that my amazing solid top mounts fail to take into account one extremely vital detail, changing castor angle when at full lock, there was a big bang last night and on investigation the shock shaft where it exits the top mounts has snapped, balls.
