Really should do a build thread.

3 weeks ago passenger wiper arm bolt was sheared off with rust, today the drivers side became loose (was only using one wiper arm but a extended version which covered 3/4 windscreen)

Anyway, took out the wiper motor, plugged in and works fine.

Decided to change brake pads in the front (rear to be done some other day)
Drama
Some reason locknut on passnger side really tight, massive drama getting it off but finally did
First time doing it changing pads, realised my G-Clamp too small, managed to get it sorted and managed to change brake pads on the front.

Gave it a few hard stops, smoked them up a bit from the heat and then the rear pads decided to squeak meaning they wanna be changed.
Im buggered. so so buggered.
