    How long is your extension cord?

    Is it one with a box or just the blades?

    At first it really does, but that settles after a few days (bedding in!).

    I got mine off eBay, £20 plus postage.

    Fitting is very easy, took about half an hour to do. The hardest part is probably fitting the new bush, if you trim the smaller edge of the bush it will help greatly.

    My dash never rattled after fitting, but you notice the nice growly noise more
