wiper blade and cambelt
Hi all, can someone please tell the size of wiper blades, I have a 1998 JX and when do I need to change the cambelt?

Get a tape measure.
Every 70,000 miles as a rule of thumb for cars doing 12,000 a year. If it's gone past that change it, you can't be sure the previous owner has.
If it's done less...change it anyway.

Thank you. I have a 16" and a 17" on the car when I google I get 18" a bit confused as to which is best.donkeychomp wrote:Get a tape measure.

The cambelt can pick up a lot of grit if you're doing pay and play days. I used to put a new one on every six months, they were only about £8 then but I think they are nearer £20 now. Its a fairly easy job, especially if, like me, you've junked the radiator shroud which is an awful mud trap.

Re: wiper blade and cambelt
Very good idea and I did the same thing. An isolator switch for the fan is also an idea...turn it off when you go into deep water...
