collected the car. Not driven it yet husband won't give me a shot.

Sorted that though told him I'm not making dinner tonight we shall go out and eat and I'll drive.

Anyway car is tucked up in Garage husband is giving it some Zymol treatment.

Not 2 mins in the garage but he had the wipers off hacking and sawing away at it . The passenger side blade is to long and hits against a bit plastic trim on the window makes a loud noise at the end of ever sweep of the window. Sorted now and fits nice and snug he cut a bit off the end and done some other stuff to get the plastic end of the wiper back on.

Not sure if it was just ours but wiper defo to long.

I'll take a picture. Fiona

Take note everybody - crap wiper design on F2's! How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

I was just moaning(as always hence boowho ) about Scotties wiper blade and then read that comment from Simon and started laughing realising we must be a rare breed us FL owners who seem addicted to buying machinery in a hope all will be well. NO we will not be talked into buying something reliable it would be too dull.
Great sense of humour Simon, and Scottie I hope you enjoy your new Freelander

here you go this is how much he cut off

Mmmmmm...

I must say I have never had the experience of sawing off pieces of a brand new vehicle yet...

Looks to me as though they've simply fitted the wrong wiper on the passenger side -- at the risk of stating the blindingly obvious the wiper that should have been there will be an inch shorter

Thought the whole point of moving production to Halewood was to improve build quality...  Bill

BOOWHO,

I've been on disco3 since the beginning... so know about issues... real and perceived.

Frankly... I am jealous of scottie... its great to be one of the 1st in a brand new model. Did it with Freelander 1st time round. For a few months you can hear people saying "hey that a new Freelander... cool"

Makes you feel good

And the paint looks great at least
