Wheels off today to inspect the brakes, my opinion on pad thickness won’t be the same as the dealer selling it ! While the wheels are off I’ll fit the mudflaps and maybe inspect the fuel filler pipe and give that a lick of paint 👍🏻 Put the RAV4 on SORN until August so have a few days while it sits quietly on the drive 👍🏻 Observation......Black looks rough when dirty but I’ll have to get use to that 😉. Have a pair of DENSO wipers in the shed they are 24 & 20" not sure they will fit the RAV4 ...anyone remember the sizes ? Mine has 24" and 17" on the windscreen and 12" on the rear Bob ( I've just checked my spare set in my "stores" ). |

Just looked up on ECP and they say 24 & 18"...what’s an inch between friends 😳😉 will order an 18" passenger and 12" rear, it does clear but not to my standard 👍🏻👍🏻 |

It’s had the windscreen replaced which is a plus ..downside not all the push clips are fitted back, will have a look in the shed see what I had left over from the last Rav4 .
Have the Lexus side Wing repeaters to go on....they have now fitted 5 of my old cars 😎

I only noticed recently that ours was Superguarded from new. It must have been applied by someone who knew what they were doing (as opposed to the body shop apprentice) because it seems to stay reasonably clean even in crap weather. A real bonus because Black cars are the pits to keep looking Good. |

My Dad had it on his red Nissan Sunny and it looked shiny and pristine for the many years he kept it. I used to enjoy cleaning the car but not so much now, so anything that keeps them looking good longer is a bonus. |

The problem I found with Supaguard was that it was seldom applied by someone with experience of the stuff hence it never did what it was supposed to. Done properly it's a pretty good product. |

I have added RAC cover as part of the Quotemehappy insurance on the CRV. |

Looking great Bob  Do you like the Duellers then Bob as they didn't seem to get good reviews about em on here by most, been noisy?? We didn't even look at the AA cover as we already had the club Toyota AA cover but yes does seem a bit of a con  |
