Put a fresh set of wipers on Mrs Rock_it's ride.. Just in time for her Learner lesson.. Where it pissed down raining..

I think the motor may be on the way out as the wipers are slower than mine..
I just had to add it ......

Washed it, it had soo many bugs on it from the roadtrip this weekend, and a heck of a lot of dirt on it :D
Went for a 4 Hour drive to Lake Mavora, and to get there, it's a 40KM Dirt road to the camp site :D

Half cleaned:

Felt shuddering just over 2km's from home got it into the garage found a seized rear left calliper. Knew this was coming so I this afternoon was spent swapping out the seized brake assembly with a working spare I had lying around. Never done major works on brakes before, nothing a quick read of the repair manual and a few youtube videos to help me trouble-shoot. End result replacement calliper in and operational glad to have save myself a large some of money and learnt some new skills.
