Re: Intermitent (SP?) Wiper problem

I think it is the sensor as it shows sign of a poor seal against the windscreen.

Re: Hi, newbie

Thanks for the warm welcome. I did my first commute in the x5, Warrington to Halifax and it's a lot less stressful than the m3! No wincing at the state of the roads....
