Wouldn't be without them on the Jag.

Only time they can be a PITA is when the pratt in front turns on his badly aimed washers.

VW99 on first use is ok, it's when the rain changes I find it very frustrating to use. The older system was much better for quick adjustments, or spray increases or slow in the rain.

Old style system would be very much preferred on my Elite, as to be honest the VW99 setup is shite for me.

Think i'll leave the wipers alone for now, at least they work sort of same goes for parking sensors  The joys of a V6 elite are becoming clearer the more time I spend with it. Everything is a disaster waiting to happen. On the bright side engine is fine touch wood very thick  wood

Just wait until you DIY work on it, 2.2 is a dream to work on. V6 is errrr, not

Looks like it needs front discs and pads pulling to the side and juddering when braking hard and a slight knock on the passenger front side when going over bumps, speed humps etc.. Will have to check and do the discs before mot..

Engine looks complicated compared to simple 4 pot 2.2  ..

But the power and sound possibly make it worth while. We'll see though lol

Will do once I figure out what some are, odd things like sunroof open to max then close but it doesn't close fully then goes back to open press the closed position to close fully.

Here's a pic of "Trouble" i'll call this Omega...



Ah set it too small will upload tomorrow with laptop..

Went for MOT so I could get an idea what I'm up against, Only failed on one thing to my surprise... Passenger side steering idler or something they garage didn't know the name of it... Fair but of play but not bad thought it would have failed on a list of things
