From the pictures it looks to be right in the centre of each wiper, is that right? If so, I suspect the wiper isn't applying equal pressure along either of the blades. If none of the above works, and easy way to eliminate this would be to remove the blade form the arm, manually drag it across the windscreen when it's wet (use it as a squeegee as such - be careful not to scratch the glass though) - also if you do it in a different direction to the usual wiper motion, and you still get smears in the same places then it's definitely the windscreen. If, however, you're left with a clear windscreen then it's got to be the arms.

And there's members' discount to be had too.

Just a word of warning, Chris, I would amend your above post on here to remove your address, postcode and reg. number what with this being a public forum.

Personally, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole but if you do chose to view it then Ricey's advice is good. I would advise ensuring the car is 100% perfect before handing any money over to them, they have an exceedingly poor reputation for a reason. You might be lucky and the car might be okay, but be under no illusion, if there is the slightest issue with it, that Keighley will do anything for you once they've got your money. Make sure you check it for accident damage as well, they have a reputation for selling on poorly repaired cars (amongst other things).

I know, that's why I said my car is 60% Granada. Lol I knew that and hadn't really forgotten in the 20 minutes since I read it... honest...

They did, it expired a few years ago now so a number of cars now use them - such as the XKR, for example. Mine was built in 2000 so its had it for at least 13 years Jag was part of Ford until 2007. :wink: But it has been the better part of a decade, if not longer.

Looks to me like the tow hook square is missing from the rear bumper too.

I did think it would go this way.... Think I will start a guide to how to price your own car and not post up 'Whats my car worth' instead.... Good luck with that one.

However, you are legally obliged to be honest (to the best of your knowledge) with your answers. Refusing to answer a question is one thing but to knowingly give a false answer is an offence. Admitting to that offence on a public forum is ill-advised to say the least - regardless of whether you think you can easily be identified or not. :wink:

It did make me chuckle though...

Isn't it just that the Bose amp has a permanent live feed? Mine does it too, btw.

Avalanche doesn't foam as well as others but it does shift a lot of dirt - it's more sudsy than foamy - great stuff in terms of performance though.

That. Your scraping noise is probably the dust.stone guard behind either front wheel if it's just when on lock, mine did this too. Wheel off, bend the guard back slightly, wheel back on, problem solved.

White vinegar and clean off with newspaper and also give the blades a good clean with the vinegar. Do you eat the chips first? Of course! You don't want chips all over your windscreen...

Quite right Dave, BTW how much is that? Ahhh another favourite game, asking staff in poundland how much stuff is... "How much is this?" "A pound" "Thanks, how much if I buy 3?" "3 pounds" "Thanks, what about if I buy 5?" "5 pounds" Continue until a - you get bored or b - you get abuse The Poundland round this way has developed it's own game along these lines; there's posters up outside advertising "£2 off". I really should investigate how much money I can make by shopping there.

+1 with my Derv, i'm barely getting 40mpg at the moment how do you manage that David Hobbs? He's not worked out how to change out of first gear yet. :wink:

I would agree with the above regarding a hose if you're using an open ended hose, however with any sort of spray gun type of attachment I much prefer that to a pressure washer. This is a good step-by-step guide.

That may not be the case any more since 21st. :wink:

I'll give you 900 (Deutsche) Marks for them.

Try claying it, if that doesn't work then try vinegar, if that still doesn't work try an IPA wipe. Clean the blades with vinegar at the same time too. If none of that works, try Wasso's suggestions. If that doesn't work, replace the car. :wink:

Interesting, Admiral told me they couldn't quote me because I have the Nismo exhaust... this was at renewal too, having insured me for the previous year with the same exhaust declared.

Think of it this way, you've saved yourself £100 in fines. The DVLA don't HAVE to do this, so you can't rely on it; there have been numerous stories (more recently) that no warning was issued before the fine. That said, some people do seem to still receive the warning. I guess it depends on how much is already in the DVLA Christmas Party Fund at the time...

Just a bit of a price difference then. I'd be interested to see what the durability is like though, it would certainly be a bonus during winter not having to take the wheels off!
