is your back wiper stuck?
mine got stuck up like that, had the motor changed and it still doesn't work some electrical fault!

Thank you - it is pretty clean for a 10 yr old car

I have just deleted some of the pics I posted because I just realised that I hadnt taken out my number plate - numpty! Anyways, here they are without my plate number!

And yes my rear wiper is stuck, the motor has gone I think. Will get round to replacing one day. It doesnt really bother me too much but I suppose it would look better if it wasnt standing up like that. Mine could be an electrically fault too. Where did you get the new motor from?

loooks really nice now
need some clear front indicators and some alloys now

Well clear front ones are on the way to me somewhere in the depths of the royal mail backlog! Im hoping they turn up tomorrow as I have the day off.

Alloys is next on my list but it all comes down to money, and not having enough of it!

Hehe, I got a new motor off ebay, but when it was changed it still didnt work argh! I got it pushed back down tho so you'd never know.. gets a bit annoying when the cars wet in the morning though. It literally stopped mid wipe!
Your car is going to look sweet soon, I wanted a black one but couldn't find a decent one and didn't have much time to look when I bought mine. Alloys would be awesome, rather expensive tho I agree.. and Im terrified id scrape them straight away on the kerb!

Oh yea I would scuff them I would of thought!

I think I may have been ripped off when I bought my punto..I paid rather a lot for it which its a bit of a bummer but i guess you learn by your mistake. i knew nothing about puntos and just assumed what I paid was the going rate for car dealers. Never mind

Ive tried pushing the wiper back down but its really really stuck and I dont want to break it off. Thats the problem with my car, nothing really is wrong with it but it has a few small things which just need fixing to make it all alright.

if you bought it off a trader they should pay for a new wiper motor

My rear wiper motor on the Sei was duff when I got the car, but luckily I noticed before the sale and got them to put another one in. However out of goodwill (if there's not some sort of code anyway) they should sort a replacement motor for you. No harm in asking

In the meantime if it bugs you, you can take the arm off the motor and reposition it to the 'parked' position. It's just one nut, under a lift up cover, I think its a 13mm socket, or a 10mm.

Well it was a trader of sorts. Basically it was a bloke who had set up a very small company and he was selling around 5 cars. He knew that the motor had gone but we also pointed out that one of the tyres was going. He had some problems getting it into garage but because of the short time he got 2 new tyres on the front put on as the other was getting close (for free) but didnt sort the motor. i knew that the wiper didnt work when I bought the car.

As I say it doesnt bother me but I may do what has been suggested and lay it down flat.

just like pretty much any nut/bolt on the punto... lol

except the seat bolts which are 16mm (which you don't get in a socket set, annoyingly)

Just a little update - finally recd (well tried to deliver) my clear front indicators. Over 2 weeks since I ordered them, I ve had crap service from the place I ordered it from. Iv had to chase them 4 times and they never once emailed or updated me on the situation. They were rude and they told me "oh the bloke we get it from, well his dealer has run out so hes trying to find supply elsewhere". Right, but you told me it had been dispatched 2 weeks ago to me?!! :bang: Oh yes itll be with you this coming monday. Come home at lunch today to find a slip from the post office stating they tried to deliver a package, will pick it up tomorrow morning. Dont use Extreme Motor Accessories!

Anyhoo, least I will be able to fix them tomorrow!

Any luck with them? Sounds like you need to name and shame this place so we don't try and use them!

lol Adam yeah, all we need is an 8mm, a 10mm and a 13mm, and you could take the entire car apart! A 13mm would get you most of the way there and all

I did name and shame - Extreme Motor Accessories! However I would use body-kit.co.uk again as their service was excellant and got my delivery 3 days after I ordered it even with the postal strikes!!

Yeah I did fit the clear front indicators but because over the weekend it was rather wet I didnt get a chance to take any piccys! I will do this weekend tho, depending on the weather - give it a good clean.

Just drive the Supra which is in the garage in your photos

I know it's your first post and all, but you're 3 years late buddy!
