Removed, reset and refitted the headlights on the white one... were both set to LHD which goes someway towards explaining why I couldn't get a sensible beam pattern from them ;D

Breathers cleaned out too... hoses were ok, but bridge was full of salad dressing :( although in my limited defence, it has travelled about a mile since the tax ran out last July...

And cleared all the spiders from the scuttle...

Just needs a new screen and I can begin to consider MoTing it 8)

You and me both. Suppose I'd better ring the insurance company tomorrow and start the three week battle to convince them the windscreen version exists

Old post and part no.s care of Cliffo B / Andy c. If it helps?




Here are the Screen details kindly given to myself by Andyc back in August
When I was'nt happy with a replacement screen fitted to Miggy
On investigation turned out to be a screen without the GM spec

Part No 90457721
EXC Heat Reflective
EXC Rain Sensor
234.79 +vat

Part No 24433002
With Heat Reflective
With Rain Sensor
272.58+Vat

Part No 24433003
EXC Heat Reflective
With Rain Sensor
211.73+Vat

I had the Heat Reflective one fitted  PN 24433002 for health reasons (my wife)
By choice I would prefer PN 24433003 as I don't care for the purplish tint on the screen
Much prefer Miggy's appearance with matching glass in all windows

The 2 GM Screens with Rain Sensors were I understand stocked in Germany by Opal
These I think are your only 2 options
As if yours is an Elite it will have rain sensative wipers
Hope this Info helpso

Done just over 300 miles during the weekend in the 2.2, never missed a beat. Saw lots of dead cars, much, much newer all with bonnets up.

Trusty steed knocking on the door of 180k now.

Noticed the ac isn't working. AGAIN.

...how the slight harshness in the ride has gone in the warmer temps. :y

...and confirmed my irritation at people that refuse point blank to exceed 40mph regardless of the speed limit. (Opposing SIGH...!)
