Anyone got automatic windscreen wipers? I'm told the Fiesta ones
actually
come on when it's frosty, and rip the blades off. You'd think they'd
have
a temperature sensor?

Mind you manual is as bad, I've yet to see a car which flicks the wipers
to off when you turn off the engine, otherwise the next morning they try
to wipe when frozen and you lose the rubber!

I always pour a bit of *tepid* (not hot) water over the wipers and screen
if
there's frost on the screen, to free the wipers. I then make sure the
wiper
switch is set to off before turning the ignition key.

How do you remember to do that?

He has a brain, you should get one.
