Can't wait to get rid of the shite Nexen's  >:(

They must be bad :o :o :o
They are. Really bad.

Their one saving grace is, boy do they run in a straight line.

Obviously we're not talking Autogrip type bad. The Nexens will tell you in plenty of time you are going to die, unlike the Autogrips, where its not safe enough to get to a speed where you might get hurt.

Pulled the ice/snow cover off the windscreen too fast and left all the snow on the screen  >:( Still at least it stopped the ice formation .

Just finished washing it - the first time in several months.  :-[
Got a few more jobs to do to it that I might have a go at in a while.

18 months :P

Actually, looks like it might not have been that, but probably impossible to confirm either way.

If you get stuck, I have a complete set, including o rings. Just need black goo.

Unblocked the scuttle drain. Brought mats and pollen filter in to dry. Carpets will take a lot longer methinks :(

Finally wired in my autodim mirror. Its been on the screen for 3 years, so I thought it was about time. ;D
Had a look at finishing the Bose installation which was started around the same time, but that's a bit more involved and can wait for another day.
