With my MOT coming up the wipers were a bit past it so I got some nice stainless ones which fitted no problem. One thing I did notice was one wiper arm is straight and the other over the drivers side has a left hand bend in it. Not sure if this is right to have one of each but anyway, the blades were slightly longer than my last set so I had to remove the arms and reposition.

The gear knob had reverse in the wrong direction so I finally replaced this although I do question the use of the word "new" when describing the cap I received. The screws made the dash look at little better as the old ones had no cup washer and were very rusty looking.

The aerial was a bit of pain as I had to remove some interior trim inside the rear quarter to get the cable through but after a bit of messing around and back pain I got it all rigged up. The old aerial had snapped and was held together with tape and the radio had a very poor reception. Well what a surpise all that messing about and it didn't make any difference so I will have to remove the radio now and check the connections etc. It may mean the stereo needs replacing (which I have always said it does but just can't find the spare cash to do it).
Went for a decent drive and gave the car a bit a stick and for the first time since I've had it, I actually think the car sounded good. Once you get the revs up the exhaust note changes (or in my case can be heard) and I think the car handles better and feels lighter and better balanced when you give it some.
Did a quick video of the car being revved. Sounds pretty good considering its a standard exhaust.
