i know you mean well but where is his safety gear? He's pushing the limits working in short sleeves too.

[diogenese]

I'm sure you should be wearing gloves too, there are many sharpish edges involved in wiper blades

[Suza]

and where is you head protection and were safety boots in use?

[niblik]

Hang on hang on hang on.

You can change wiper blades?!

WTF? I thought they were like fitted for the life of the vehicle and when they wore out that was it. Kind of like the ash tray - when its full thats it, time to park it up until it rusts away.

Thanks ORE - I learned something today and luckily I have all the PPE to carry out the task too.

But quick question - If the vehicle is raised and you need a stepladder to reach does it have to be certified or is it just easier to get a scaffolder to put up a frame - just to be safe?

[snotgoblin]

Just use a fall restraint with a full torso harness for lifted vehicles... Cheaper than having a full scaffold erected and certified each time...

Thanks guys for an informative thread.

Now to figure out how to fill the washer thingee...

[Bonus]

Can anyone tell me where I fill my truck up with diesel, and how i fill my tyres with air? Can Repco help me, or am I better to go to super cheap?

[Nizzanman]

Far to complicated for Repco or Supercheap, if I were you I would book into your local workshop. I take my truck in for a service as soon as the windscreen washer fluid runs out, trust me you don't want to fill up your own washer fluid, could cause all sorts of problems, somebody qualified needs to do that.

Maybe the system shows whether the car takes the wide or narrow blades?

Wiper blades do come in different widths and lengths, as well as with different ends of how they attach to the arm. So she was just doing her job.

Fark that was a close one, couldve opened up a real mess and buggered my weekend.
