Well, yesterday.... Swapped the complete wiper mechanism from the DTi onto the V6 due to seizure of the mechanism - spindle for passenger wiper arm was seized - should have done something about it a while ago as there was evidence of rusty water dripping off the underside of it.
Greased the joints on the donor so hopefully should be good for a while, it's the smoothest the wiper action has been in all the time I've owned the car!

How far do you get on your 27 litres, though?

About 175 if I'm lucky (and wait until I'm really twitchy before filling up). ;)

I popped out at lunch time to fill it up, as I heard the fuel pump sucking air in the car park, and was worried that the remains would evaporate through the breather in the afternoon sun. ::)
