Worth given the fuse tray a once over while you're there too. Although mine was covered - crap still gets in there. Gave all the pinouts a scrub with a small wire brush too. Some did have a little bit of surface corrosion on them - certainly did no harm anyway.

The battery is always my first suspicion when things like this start to misbehave. I had a new battery in 2020 and earlier this year I started noticing a few 'sluggish' things. Five years a good run for a car battery IMO - and I cleaned up the terminals (and fuse connectors) alongside the new...

Doesn't look like the OP has been on here in over a decade - I doubt he'll respond. Maybe someone else has had similar though?

That must be one twitchy Saab owner next door! ;)

Cheers mate - did do the whole 'rinse & repeat' of drain clearing last week. Got a length of flexi tubing which I've found to be excellent at clearing out the central drain. Had the washer bottle out at the same time doing some general tidying up and the drain that side was definitely clear. Ran...

Thanks all. Got a dehumidifier here - I'll chuck that in over a days and nights. Any ideas how it will have gotten wet in the first place? Heater matrix pipe leak possibly? Or could blocked scuttle drains do similar?

So, I’m addressing some of the water ingress in the front passenger footwell. I’ve taken the sponge out (pissed wet through and sopping) - but noticed the backing on this brown sheeting section is very wet on the back of it. Press it and some drips run down. Is it possible to remove & dry it...

Random trivia I recall from years ago with Corrados. Had the windscreen replaced on my previous Punto GT. Was chatting to the bloke swapping the screen out and asked him what's the worst screen to replace. He said "Without doubt - the Corrado. Absolute t**t of a job." It was a franchise he...

Like hen's teeth those things - chasing exclusivity like a pair of Trophy Recaros... :P

Thanks for that. Just nabbed the one that @Marky_ mentioned above. They certainly look like the right ones.

Ordered - cheers!

Innit indeed. Just while I'm here - does anyone know what clips go in the end of the wiper cover trim, as seen in @Matt Cup 's image below? One side of mine are knackered and the other side isn't great.

I haven't - but that's a mightily impressive 21-year thread bump. Hope someone does actually help you!

It's an utter s**t design. Both the central drain hole being tiny compared to the two outlying ones and that bizarre rubber tube that has a flap on the bottom. It's almost like they actively want to encourage blockages over time. Definitely worth checking that area more frequently too. I've had...

The cyberware and the quick-hacks are definitely a lot of fun. I tend to use the System Overload one a lot as it's one of the few hacks that are not traceable and is ideal for outlying enemies that are unlikely to be detected whilst lying on the ground. Of course, even when you are detected...
