Re: 2004 Coupe wiper problem

Thanks for all the help.

In the end I just swapped out every fuse that could impact the wipers and voila! they work.

Checked all the old fuses and none appear to be blown. Strange, but all is sorted so case closed.

I'm happy to elaborate if you are actually trying to help. Before I write a huge write up I thought I'd just check if anyone had experience with these first as it is a BMW forum. Do you know much about 92 celicas or are you just taking the piss?

Re: Sunroof drains ...

If you plan on having the roof lining down anytime soon then just wait. Pull the tubes off and wash them out then refit them. Whilst your at it you will have a good chance to inspect for roof rot which is unfortunatly very common.

Prop center bearing. worn rubber inside or shagged bearings. Its grindgin as it leans.

Wheel bearings will make that noise whilst going straight.
