Good to know. Well done.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: Wiper parking
Glad to hear its all sorted.
I had a hunch it would be a simple mechanical adjustment and not some new fangled electronic service position.
Amazing that someone went to the trouble of (probably) replacing the wiper motor but was completely incompetent at actually tightening the bolts and adjusting the crank position to get it parking properly. It's really not that hard.

Re: Wiper parking
Exactly! Once in there it was obvious, even to the mechanically challenged. Having said that, it would appear that simply doing up bolts was beyond P.O.Mandrake wrote:Glad to hear its all sorted.
