Midland VW had the Fabia first thing Saturday morning and by lunchtime it was ready to be picked up :)
Only thing it needed was a new bulb for the reg plate :) I also had all the wiper blades replaced as the old ones had stopped cleaning the screen as well.
I wanted the wipers to look different to the standard ones so i upgraded to the Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades. They look like the Aero blades on my MK5 Golf :) and make the car just a little bit more modern looking.
I also had the tracking checked and adjusted I tend to have this done every so often as i had a real issue with my Golf that had the tracking out straight from the factory and caused excessive tyre wear.
Here's a rundown of the Bosch Aero Wipers:
