Re the wiper rack clean up...can you advise more?
Mine is super slow also.
Taken it out and checked but couldn't see how to take apart to clean/lubricate.
??
Cheers - Here's a useful thread. It's not too bad a job to get to all of this.

Earlier in this thread i mentioned a meet up. Why not bring it along to the annual meet in Kelso!?

The wiper rack issue is an ongoing issue. Its either that the joints wear out so you get "wiper slap" or it just gets so full of corrosion that it slows up.
Thanks David - I've been a bit too slow to realise this, and it's geographically close too. We've got our youngest's very belated birthday party on the Saturday afternoon... That pretty much blows that out the water. Gutted, I didn't spot this earlier. Hopefully get a mini meet or something going?

Meanwhile the S8 did well last week, racking up a comfortable 700 miles. I gave it a well deserved rest this week, and used the Volvo instead, however, next week it's going to be pressed into service and do another big trip.

Fingers crossed.
