The 405 News

[Lacquer Peel]

Because they freeze up at the slightest hint of a frost IME

They're fine if you use screenwash fit for the conditions.

The spray bar was copied by Mercedes-Benz for the Sprinter.

[Junkman]

If I could find auxiliary spray bars, I'd add them to every car I have.

Checking for Sprinter ones now.

[Junkman]

The swept area suggests the wiper sits too high when parked.

 

 

 

So the wiper arm needs to be freed from the spindle to adjust it. The sophisticated shiter has a special tool for that.

 

 

 

 

It's also time to clean up this terrible WTAF mess.

 

 

 

 

This is the amount of rubbish incurring when you change the wiper blades of two modernz.

 

 

 

If this isn't further proof that the car industry has been taken over by total sociopaths, then what is?

[Eddie Honda]

Loads of commercials have them

 

The Baldie's site has these

Worry not, Junkman, I said to myself, if there is something wrong with the cooling system, it will get worse and then you'll be able to see what it is.

So I worried not and it got worse, but I still wasn't able to see what it is, I just saw water dripping down from behind the engine.

Since the weather is shit despite the GGG's sterlingest effort to improve® the Climate, I decided to outsource.

Worry not, Junkman, the garage folks said to me, if there is something wrong with the cooling system, we will find it.

And they found it and fixed it and said that'll be eighty five quid, please.

The O ring of confidence?

[Eddie Honda]

EIGHTY-FIVE FUCKING QUID?!

 

[Junkman]

The O ring of confidence?

 

The plug of non confidence.

[loserone]

The plug of incontinence.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

That same plug thing one of the other 405s needed?

[Junkman]

That would be correct, sir.

[Noel Tidybeard]

citreon bx has a spray bar that sprays both sides of blade- also used by TVR dontchakno

[Junkman]

I wouldn't exactly class this as widespread copying, for some odd reason.

[chaseracer]

The BX is a 405 with clever suspension.  Or suspension that is the work of the devil, depending on your viewpoint.
