Need to change wiper blades for MOT on my LS600h. (Right Hand Drive) The instructions on the box and online all have pictures that are nothing like my wiper arms (they have a hole in the side), mine don't. The drivers' side is so long that I can't raise the wiper arm to get at it without raising the bonnet (hood). Nowhere does it say I should need to open the bonnet to change wiper blades. Put simply, everything I've found on line says to pull up a little clip, but neither side of mine seem to have such a clip, so I can't get the old ones off. Anyone able to point me to a video that shows how to do it ? Two hours so far !!

I bought my one owner LS600h L-RSR in March. It has fsh and 48K miles. Very lovely it is too. However, the 12V battery has died, and I can't remove the temperature probe on the 12V battery, which means I can't get the old battery out, so I'm now without a car. I really don't want to get it recovered just to change the battery. Anybody know how to get the probe disconnected ? I have posted this on the LS forum too. I thought of the new members section after I posted it Any ideas ? I've been trying for 3 hours without success (or any clue what else to try) Thanks Rod

Hi folks, I'm stuck (literally). I've bought a new 12V battery for my LS600h and it has two extra unfamiliar fittings. I believe these are a vent and a temperature probe. I guess the one I can't disconnect is the temperature probe as it has a cable. It is stopping me removing the battery, so the car is immobile. What's the trick to getting it out ? I've tried Panasonic but can't find anything. It's faintly ridiculous to not be able to change a battery, but that's where I am. Any ideas out there ? Thanks Rod
