head light wipers

850 and x70 are often the same, though typically one does work while others dont. On my old 850T5, I simply removed them and fitted headlight trims from a ca...

Seriously though, real cars dont have headlight wipers.

Speaking of real cars, hows your 242 coming along? Have you got all the suspension in it yet?

Quite slowly to be honest. Im living in wollongong now because of uni so I haven't touched it. I have a week off next week so I might have a go at the rear. I still need to get wheel bearings for the front.

If I had a S60R I wouldnt care if it had wipers or not!

I'm sure if the headlight wipers on my S60R failed I'd be looking to get them fixed.
Chances are there would be error codes along with reduced performance...

Headlights wipers.interfere with the air flow of the front which is designed for maximum performance so you lose valuable power and add extra drag.

You're forgetting about the drag of the dust and bugs guts that is on the headlights if you don't have them fitted.

Ex850R

But if you are driving the car PROPERLY fast and with great precise control the bugs and dust has no chance of settling due to the force of the vehicle creating and envelope of a pressure cell that surrounds the car.

i can make a video of them working on my 740T?
hehehe.
they only work when you use the windscreen water jets.

then the police, cut your license up. :D

Never said it was speeding....

at 260 the pressurecell is not fully formed? Because bugs leave a grand splat on the bike and hit like rocks on my hands ;P

Ex850R

You miss the gist Man.

bahaha! Apologies to Will for the thread jack!

you must remember we are driving some of the most aerodynamic bricks known to man! the pressure cells they generate at even low speeds are huge!

hahaha i couldnt care less. i think its brilliant that people love volvos enough to argue over wether head light wipers are a good thing or not

Ex850R

Love Volvo's??? Shit I thought this was a Rover forum! Damn.

Barwick10

is it?! fuck...

deleted_user_160

HAHAHAHA.
Wasn't the 7/9 something like 95% more aerodynamic than than the Porsche 911 if the same era?

Think I remember seeing a poster add about it years back.

Ben

Pfft, on a 240 the windscreen wiper is bad enough, let alone on the headlight!

deleted_user_160

I take it you have had many issues with the 2series wipers?
