I switched on my auto rain sensors 3 years ago on the X3 and I have pretty much left them to do their stuff since then. Seem to work fine.

The Octavias work just fine and I tend to just leave them on. The Golf mk7 I had was the same, they just worked the majority of the time.

The rain sensors on the Mini and Disco work OK. Both are adjustable.

If they are as much on their game as National Windscreens in Banbury, all will be well.

Sounds like someone had a bad day at the office! Eer Boss I just broke a screen putting it in....hopefully a cheap fiesta and not the Porsche....Er?😂 But easily resolved as you say

That’s a pain, hope it gets sorted easily enough.

I’m currently in Northern Ireland in a converted Transit van/RV type set up.
Rented it online as the reviews were excellent and the pictures looked great.
The reality of such a rental though is that it’s not as well executed as I expected and the van is horrible to drive- I mean horrible.
I’ve driven many in my time and this one is by far the worst. Gearbox is rough, 5th gear will only get you about 55mph without singing a ludicrous noise…
We’ve parked it up as we have the car too, which feels like a sports car after driving the transit.

Anyway, the guy in the office said they will convert transits for people too.
In my professional opinion, wiring shouldn’t be done that way, the layout is poor, the execution of the idea works and their market based on expectations vs reality, should be people in their 20’s who are traveling long distances across the UK.

I wouldn’t use their services to convert a van as I could do a much better job myself.

I’d rather put a hitch in the car and rent a caravan next time.

Someone at head office is going to be asking questions because this will be costing them a small fortune.

Cost is £1,600 + Vat and he’s gutted as it will have quite an impact on his bonus. It’s the trim going back on that’s the problem, it broke about 5 secs from the job being completed.

Boeing, boeing, boing?

Boeing doing a grand job of fucking up the merchandise.

Again..........

Still not sorted.  They’re waiting for a screen to be delivered from a different Porsche dealer as they’ve convinced themselves a different batch might solve the problem…..

It hasn’t been bad enough either time to leave me without a car, the latest crack is growing, but up the passenger side close to the edge so not a big issue. 

Arrived back from France in the wee smallhours last night. One thing that struck us as our route took us north up the A34 from Winchester to Oxford, was that almost every single layby had one solitary car car parked up. Between 1:00 and 2:00 AM. All the cars in darkness, withno interior or exterior lights. Seems an odd place to pull over for a kip, when even the car park at Chieveley services would offer a better solution.

Something else we noticed after two weeks in France is just how woefully crap everything is over here.

Could it be people who are living in their car - they'd probably get moved on if they parked up overnight at the services.

Actually, I'd like to see that mash up. 

I'm sure he doesn't want his peaceful retirement environment spoiled by Yahoos trying to make a living.
