    I have a 406 -97, and wonder if there is a way to make the windscreen vipers
    more accessible for changing the blades?
    Is it possible to make them stop "halfway" to make it more easy to bend
    outwards?

  2. Unfortunately this is another Peugeot design fault. It makes washing the car
    a headache too I guess this is not a Sunday morning pastime in France.

    To stop them halfway, let them run and turn off the ignition at the point
    you want them to stop at.

    Hi,
    car
    Well, playing with ignition is not the hardest thing you could do with a car
    :)
    LOL ! It could. Some people wash their car on Friday afternoon, then trash
    it in the countryside and come back to home with 3lb or mud stuck to bodykit
    :)

    The cars with French numberplates I see in the UK are all rusty,
    beaten-up heaps of junk, usually with half-a-dozen parking tickets
    stuck to the windscreen. Does anyone in France actually buy new cars,
    or do the Swiss sell theirs on when the ashtrays are full?

    Hi,
    Well, I have to agree with you, some owners are neglectant (spelling ?).
    Errr... I have a friend of mine which almost has to press the phone bill to
    change gear - just 'cause the clutch pedal is underneath :)
    But else, yeah they still buy new cars, can't remember the figures for 2004,
    but in 2003 60% of them were french cars.
    LOL !
