Stebel nautilus is what you need!LTIH: the horn on the new wheels...so very disappointing. I seriously reckon they found an old box of Toyota Echo horns and said fuck it, they'll do.
The tooter on the old car was brilliant, it would startle muppets from their phone induced gaze at greenlights thinking they had a angry, drug induced truckie behind them as they dropped the phone and fumbled for gears, now all I get is disapproving, derisive glances in the rear view mirror.
Goes off to search for train horns on Google...
Didn't see this, yes look for and buy :evil grin:Try looking for the Nautilus air horn on eBay...
Keep the blade and replace the car?Planned obsolescence... Nothing new, but every now and then something will really annoy. Bosch wiper blades as factory fitted to the Alfa - cant replace the rubber blade itself, you have to replace the whole assembly... Grrr.
Replaced them with Valeo wipers, which can have the inserts replaced.
Best way to monitor crack growth is to get steel wedges. Hammer them in really hard. Measure how much is sticking out. Make sure to keep giving them whacks for a few days. Then measure again.I work nearby so this photo today:
Walked past just then, I swear a crack has opened up since lunch...
A week on Tassie roads and it’s endeared itself again... They really do know a thing or two about chassis setup!!Keep the blade and replace the car?
Not quite planned obsolescence, just a bastard and wasteful practice car manufacturers use to make more cash from non mechanically minded buyers who will opt for the factory option.Planned obsolescence...

Cheap blades fuck up fast, tridon wiper refills are the only one that last I've found and if you use the proper wild shield washer detergent it keeps the rubber supple for longer.I find wiper blades lose that new soft perfect wipe fairly quickly.
(say, within 12 months)
I have a theory that it is related to UV exposure.
Over the years they have become pretty fancy & expensive... But I must admit the one piece flex blade style ones do a very good job!

Yeah for sure. I bought Tridon last time, good quality for sure.Cheap blades fuck up fast, tridon wiper refills are the only one that last I've found and if you use the proper wild shield washer detergent it keeps the rubber supple for longer.
I tend to spend the dollars and get good ones, the cheapie ones end up being more expensive in the long run.I find wiper blades lose that new soft perfect wipe fairly quickly.

Do you charge yourself mate's rates?Self unemployed thank you very much. I do a little consulting here and there.
No, much higher!Do you charge yourself mate's rates?
What about a Colorado? Not paying a Holden Dealer for wipersI tend to spend the dollars and get good ones, the cheapie ones end up being more expensive in the long run.
I've been using Valeo flat blades for years, best I've found. wiperblades.co.uk is your friend if you have a euro car.
That’s the rebadged Daewoo compensation device thing right? People getting sucked into buying those piles dents my otherwise rosey outlook on humanity...What about a Colorado? Not paying a Holden Dealer for wipers

Just hit eBay and search for Bosch aerotwin or trico flat blades. Its a common pos in oz so eBay will front some decent options.
Rough day at the desk?Sorry, I’m thinking captiva. Colorado is the rebadged Isuzu compensation device... Same result.
