windscreen wipers

A topic for such easy subject? Yes, because the windscreen wipers you can buy at your local carparts store are all for the typical modern wiper-arm;

standard modern car
In Russia some things are different..... The wiper arms don't have the "hook" on a Lada 21013, they have a straight end.


I noticed during heavy rainfall that both wipers made an annoying noise.

Not strange when you discover that the clips were held by tie rips...

Instead of going for the usual suspects Bosch, Valeo, SWF, I did visit www.ladapower-europe.com again. Good choice, because these Russian wipers came with the correct clip for the straight Lada 2101 wipers.

repairing the nasty "tap" in the speedometer

Both the kilometer (mile) counter and the speed needle reflected the reality. With the 1 owner history of this car, and the reassuring paperwork that came with it, I don't have any doubts about the mileage on the clock, but I for sure want to get rid of the noise it makes. First step; taking out the speedometer-housing. Although I have a service manual for the 2101 Lada, it didn't help me a lot. No pictures there and just a vague description "remove the cluster by pressing both leaf springs". The Lada Owners club of Great Brittain on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/ladaownersclubofgreatbritain ) helped me to take the first step. But to help others tackle this issue, I've made some pictures.
