I'm after chrome door handles but my door was frozen shut this morning and was a good reminder as too why I shouldn't get them - Apparently they break very easily!

Very true. Bought a set of door handles from tony, as they were the same colour as my car and installed them on. Less than 2 weeks later driver's one broke off..... lol. Good thing is that I have kept two rear driver's ones as spares so I can replace them as they break......

Spent some time scrubbing my replacement washer bottle cap with a nail brush to make it nice and clean (oh dear, how sad?) and then fitted said cap and battery clamp that I got from Fat Tony - thanks mate

Using info I got of here years ago I twisted the arm on my wife's drivers side wiper arm on her 2001 corsa Sri. I didn't check right away but fitted new wipers and the drivers one still juddered and scraped loads of water back across the screen.
I used the biggest adjustable spanner to twist it back so the blade was perpendicular to the screen again.

Not a Volvo but without this forum even I wouldn't have know that lol

Installed an aftermarket auto dim rear view mirror with rear view camera lcd

removed the old bracket with a light heat gun to the metal piece on the glass, did it a few times, total 30 minutes, then slowly peeled off the metal piece.

Installed the new metal piece and mirror, wires were tapped from the harness off the CEM

Now when i select reverse, my rear auto dim view mirror has a 4.3" image of my lower rears
