its hard to get it to wipe once on mine by pulling back..have to literally flick it as lightly as poss, otherwise its 2 or 3 minimum....which just screeches after the first wipe (assuming you only had enough water to require one wipe)

silly little thing, but it bugs me that the steering wheel isnt in line with the centre of the seat..nor are the pedals...you are ever so slightly sitting to the right of the steering wheel (think its right anyway)

exactly, push it up then back down, not hard! You don't even need to click it, a push will get it going once

I can now confirm the following:

Quick flick back = 2 wipes
Longer flick = 3 wipes

I couldn't managed a one wipe flick

lol, i can only just about manage a one-wipe-flick (oo-err missus) if i flick it fast, almost as if i missed it.

reminds me of a time a week or so ago when i was sitting in a queue of traffic, stationary, the passneger in the car in frt decided to get out cos the traffic wasnt moving, so he threw his door open and a bus hurtled past at about 30mph in the bus lane....

there was an audible "click" as the big bus flying past just clipped the open door

the guy must have shit his pants...

yes im on the wine...

I can add to this -

* Rear lights in the back of a 3dr Hatch (like in the Chammy)
* Seperate Brake Lights (rather then sidelights getting brighter) and High Level Brake Light.
* Lower Rear Tortion Bar
