I’ve had my Mitsubishi FTO MIVEC for three years and have had nothing but happiness and delight out of it. The only problem is with getting the spares needed to keep it maintained. I have used three sets of Wiper Blades and I am still not happy with the current version that I have on. I purchased the high performance Silicone Wiper Blades from a local garage but they do not curve to the correct angle of the windscreen.

The concerns that I have with ordering parts for the FTO is that everything has to be imported from Japan to get the correct fit and style. I did realise this when I bought the car but I didn’t realise the cost of importing such things as Wiper Blades direct from the factory in Japan. This is because they do not make the current version of the car anymore and therefore everything is by order and demand.

There are a couple of expert companies that can help with high performance parts, such as Wiper Blades, and I have used them in the past when the car failed it’s MOT and I needed a new seatbelt, mirror and locking catch. These expert dealers are comprehensively cheaper and you actually get to talk someone who will give you exact prices and delivery times. I used SMC who are a expert FTO parts dealer, I purchased the above parts and ordered the new high performance Wiper Blades which were a perfect fit, unfortunately they were too high performance and a local kid decided to treat himself to them the following week!

I have resigned myself to using local garage or store for Wiper Blades in case of the same occurring again. I went down to a local store and bought a set of regular Wiper Blades which I thought would fit the windscreen, they were sizes 20” and 21”, they didn’t fit although the FTO name was on the packaging. I took the pair of Wiper Blades back and exchanged them for the rigid 19” version. The Wiper Blades fit the actual windscreen but did not curve around to fit the passenger side. I left these Wiper Blades on for at least six months but I noticed that during the winter months the rubber was wearing and I decided to go back to the Silicone Wiper Blades. As I have already commented on, I am still not happy with the appearance of my Wiper Blades but they are the best that I can find without paying for an import from Japan and paying a huge amount.

When instructing young people to drive it is really important that you’re fully prepared. The driving supervisor needs to have an supporting attitude as well as be well aware of current safe driving practices.

The learner should be prepared to go out on the road. They must hold a provisional licence. It is a good idea for the learner to have a few lessons with a professional instructor who can show them the underlying theory of driving. Always ensure you use a safe vehicle and get the learner to help you check the lights, brakes and tyres are functioning normally.

Prior to accompanying a learner on the road, there are a few matters you need to organise. Foremost, are you old enough to teach driving? The age limit is usually 21. You must also have a valid driving licence which you have held for at least three years.Make sure the driver you will be instructing is insured on the vehicle you will be using. A good provider of car insurance for young drivers is Coverbox. Get hold of a copy of the latest Highway Code and make sure you know all the latest rules and regulations.

Plan the route in advance. To prevent learners getting distracted and tired start with short trips. Gradually increase the route distance and acquaint the learner to a variety of conditions. The learner needs to become comfortable driving when day or night, on wet or dry roads, and at a variety of speed limits.

During driving practice, it is crucial to remain calm and give advice in a constructive manner. Give congratulations where it is deserved and avoid sarcasm. Ask the learner to point out any potential problems. Make sure that the driver is reminded to use the indicators properly and look in the rear mirrors before carrying out any manoeuvres. Good driving practices must be reinforced. In the event of a dangerous manoeuvre pull over safely and discuss what occurred. Recap the learners performance after practising, always staying positive.

If the driver is taught well the good driving habits they have learned will carry on over into the time when the drive on their own. Perhaps they can then pass the habits onto the next generation of drivers.
