    How to tighten my wiper arm?

    Yeah I wanted to try and tighten it and see if that made a difference before i went for a new one. I just didnt know how to! So would i pop off that cap with a screwdriver (seems to be on there pretty tight)? And tighten that screw. Would that tighten the tension on it?

    Akoya Silver -- Modified?

    I was in 2 minds to start with between Akoya silver & Dolphin grey. I went for the dolphin and sometimes i look at it and think hmmm it looks ok, But when the suns beaming and its just been washed it looks stunning! Oddly enough it looks brilliant in dark cloudy weather as well?!

    20 FSI Engine Cover

    If there wasn't a 2.0 tfsi, then I imagine the fsi wouldnt get slated half as much as it does... It is a lovely engine, Quick, economical (for a petrol) and a smooth power delivery. Having said that a tfsi is definitely on the cards for my next motor :)
