I'm surprised you did not in those 30 years meet falling snow

reduced visibility well below 100m. I did just while commuting 16

a day in London!

Quite. Calling them fog lights is stupid. You're just as likely to
have
the same poor visibility due to heavy rain or snow. I'd say heavy
rain
far
more common than fog these days.

If you can't see through rain, go to specsavers or replace your
windscreen wipers.

If you can't see through rain , then you are travelling too fast for
the conditions.

Impossible, rain doesn't block vision.

It can do when it is deluging against the windscreen
faster than the wipers can move it off the windscreen.

Fit a Binford 2100 motor.

Not even possible with most cars.

How can you not manage to replace a motor?

You arent replacing it, you are changing it to a different
one which is very unlikely to be a drop in replacement.
