Is it time to throw the towel in?

[Brighouse-gti]

I had a minor fire in the car this morning...









All from a shorting wiper motor!! I love my car, but is it time to give in and get a 'modern' car! Headache!!

In a word - no. You'll miss the mk2.

Suppose I better find a new wiper stalk, oh and section of loom, and a wiper motor, and that section of loom. Ah £££££££

Is the wiper stalk the same as the early Corrado one?

It's just that I have a set of those here

is it time to throw the towel in ? ......mmmmm
 it's an old car & work is always looming on the horizon, had mine 15 years now, had some serious ups & downs with her , but i know i can fix most of it myself & when she is right she is

I've already managed to source an early type wiper stalk, thirty nikka which aint too bad considering the other one the geez wanted double! Going to have to do some re-wiring tho, found the wires in the loom under the bonnet had fried too! Give me something to do over the weekend, nagging missis, whining kids and cutting me fingers under the hood, the joys!!!
