    Volvo. Contact Rufe on here. On the Phase 2 V70 they're cheap. I suspect they are on the 850 too.

    I've only got one working at the moment. The other one has slipped the gog and moved. So it's not working, the wipe was sticking up in the air. I had to take the blade off it was getting stuck in the bonnet when I closed it. I can recommend Rufe as well great service.

    Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.
