Having problems with my wee Fifi, (my Fiat Punto 2002) thought I would join for some tips to keep her on the road. As I love my car and also can't afford a new one at the moment!!

Thank you Alan ? I'm having problems with my window wipers and my heater!! Both link arms have broken (if that's what it's called the bit under the hood that move the wiper blades)?? & my heater has stopped working ?
Hi,
The wiper linkages are a common failure. You can either replace them with standard second hand parts from somewhere like ebay, use a repair clip, or upgrade the linkages to wipex linkages. Sometimes you can get away with squashing the plastic bush at the end of the linkage with a pair of pliers to give you a bit more time.
Re your heater fan.... Do your sidelights come on instead of the fan when you turn the fan control nob?(strange I know) Does it not work on all 4 speeds or just some?
