Had to replace the wiper on the Aygo last night. Noticed it wasn't wiping the whole window. Checked it, looked OK. So, deciding to finally get a new blade from Halfords, as I was due to pass the store, checked again, and the whole arm flopped down. Oh. The arm is only plastic and had split. So, onto ebay, less than £8 for a new arm and blade. It was £8 in Halfords for a blade.

The retaining nut was on tight so that took a big spanner, to be met with the captive nut that's usually on the arm having corroded onto the spindle. Out with the Dremel and cut it off, new arm and blade fitted.

The van serviced and the undersides given a good spray with Buzzweld lano chassis guard. It's pretty clean down there and I'm keen to keep things that way.

Due to the wind I got a good spray of lano all over me, so I too should resist corrosion for some months to come,
