I need to swap a speed sensor on my RE Interceptor (bike) and the cable goes into a block connector with several others. Question is, how do you get a connector out of a block connection?

What do you call a " block connector"?  A picture would help.

I am putting my E32 735i back on the road after a 1 year rest and it needs its power steering fluid topped up, the hand book says it also does the brakes somehow as well but when it comes to type of fluid it it says "BMW service stations know the factory approved grades". Anybody know for certain what fluid I should use?

Anyone got any idea how I get these wiper blades off? They are 22" aero blade wipers on my Audi A6 Avant but didnt want to inadvertently break something if I'm not doing it right...

On some of these aeros the bit covering the hook is on a hinge - lift it at the arm end and it should expose the wiper arm hook.

You might need to put the wipers into service mode, so they clear the bonnet. Depending on the age it's either in the onboard dash computer or you press the single sweep wipe after just taking the key out. 

Depending on the design, the aero blades can either simply unhook after bending the blade away or you remove a cover.

So that is what is happening in my* Peugeot partner occasionally when it have taken the key out. 

Thanks for the information, now I know why.
