Has anyone used wiper arms off a different car on there P5, the ones fitted at the moment just dont seem to press down on the screen enough to clear the screen fully, looking for function over appearance as the car will be taking part in an endurance rally in December

They are standard arms with the ramp for the off-screen parking lift fixed on. In 90% of poor wiping pressure is just down to lubrication of the pivot - its never done! 9% is because the spring has corroded/lost its tension - these can be taken off other wiper arms - 1% will be because someone has bent the arm to try to rectify the 1st 2!
It will be quite apparent which or all of the 3 it is - alternatively get some new ones from Holdens and fit the ramps or better still try David Green for good secondhand
I assume you have tried new blades or rubbers?
