Many thanks, very helpful. I will have a look when the next dry day come along.

I have the same fault on my 2001 S Type, is it going to be the same as the XF?

I have a 2001 SE and the tyres are going to need replacing soon as the sidewalls are cracked. Currently fitted with Pirelli Centuro P7 235/55 16, so what are the best budget tyres to fit as this is a hobby car doing a low mileage.

Being an mechanical engineer I used a horse shoe clamp from a 1” engineers vee block. It just gripped the underside of the wiper arm and with a couple of turns of the clamp screw the arm came off with now damage to the paintwork. You do need the bonnet up.

I replaced mine recently with Michelin blades, not bad. To replace the blades I used a small puller to remove the wiper arms, so much easier and kinder to the bonnet paintwork.

Where is the best place to get a Free workshop manual for a 3,0 ltr auto petrol? CliveH
