Check your fuses.
That is where I would start.

ok m8 10w 40 semi synth

I'd switch to a 5W40 fully synth thats what i run all year round, and what oilman recommends

Yeh Lunner i use to use that my car drinks it like i drink beer!!! and cant afford it. So iv used the 10w 40 and it lasts a lot longer. Bt the engines tappey.

put some wynns top end treatment in £5 from halfruads !

its good

[Scougar]

What does that do then?

OP> My wiper is a bit funny when wet/cold so I would suggest it is damp getting into a connection somewhere.

Not sure about the rest, but maybe snow got in under the mirror and has now melted and causing shorting issues?

It quietens noisy tappets, used some in mine a while ago and worked a treat. Forte top end treatment is supposed to be good too
