My single wiper kit lasted a good two years, but when it went wrong, basically i needed to weld the wiper linkage mount back on it went that wrong! So not saying don't do it, but take it as a consideration!

Temp wise mine sat at 92 but in traffic would go up but fan usually kicked in.

how did you work out that they should all sit at 90? theres 2 different fan switches for them, one makes the fan kick in at 98 and the other is a bit lower IIRC



Because thats the normal running temp of a corsa

how can you say that when different corsas have different tempreture thermostats, different temp fan switches, different levels of anti freeze in then etc,,,,,,

every car is different, and whos to say the gauge is 100% accurate on every corsa.

but feel free to do both of the above..... and ruin a nice corsa

Which is what I said ages ago, but he ignored it, as that would get him the least amount of attention

As much as I like this car, I could get bored of seeing this thread at the top of projects all the time being used as a helpzone thread or for pics of it unchanged but cleaned

single wiper kits dont break all the time, you must have fitted it wrong

i love mine, didn't like it when it touched the edge of the window so i modded it to the centre and now i get a perfect sweep
