juddering windscreen wiper any ideas?
Discussion
New chimaera owner, and i have noticed two little foibles in an otherwise glorious car. First, on windscreen wiper speed 2, there is a bit of a judder as the wipers go up. 2nd, theres a slight rattle from inside the front/centre console during forward motion. Is this just a case of 'they all dom that sir' or anyone got anyone suggestions...

I had the same wiper problem on my Griff.
The following didn't work:-
Replaced the wiper arms (the spring is pretty effeminate) and compared to my wifes Audi about as effective as a stick of rhubarb.
Got the garage to replace the wiper blades
Tried Rain X
Things that did work (perfectly)
Put on some decent Bosch wiper blades (with Carlos Fandango spoiler bits)

I fitted decent Bosch wiper blades to my Chim and they do the business, watch it if you fit one with a spoiler thingy though - On mine I tried one with a spoiler on the offside but because of the angle that the blade moves through, the angle it made with the windscreen meant it used to scratch the windscreen slightly, I tried it on the near side and that was fine. Just bear that in mind before you chuck the receipt for the blades out as you may want to swap a spoiler'd one if it does that.
Just my experiences, probably don't count for much though!!
Oh, I sometimes go and check my Tiv last thing at night too, safety in numbers!
