Hello,
I have a few issues with my V Reg 1.2 Punto which I could do with some help with. Some are straightforward i think and some are a bit more concerning
- My wiper linkage has collapsed. I glued a 2p to the bottom of each join and this has served me well for the last 10 months. However, the wipers don't so much wipe but smear the rain all over the windscreen. Plus I keep expecting them to fail. Can anyone tell me the cheapest and easiest way to replace these?
- A month or so again some sod broke into the car by smashing the lock in on the passenger side. I have wedged the lock back in but it is still not secure, also its a pain in the arse because I have no central locking and so can only unlock the door via the drivers side. I have been given various advice from a new lock to filling in the space with filler(which will look crap) any ideas?
- The next night on from the above someone kicked my (manual) wing mirror off. What price should I pay for a new one?
- My water jets for the front windscreen are crap and barely give out any spray?
- When I get in the car and accelerate I hear this kind of whirring noise until I reach a certain speed and it then stops?
- Also when I accelerate (particularly when on a hill start) the car make what sounds like halve rattle/ halve croaking. I have no Idea what this is. I took it to a garage and they said there was no such noise. I have done 500 miles in the last week and the noise is definitely there.
And last but not lease...
- The electrics, which are haywire! Firstly, When I have the the fan on (either hot or cold) it sometimes goes off and the side lights come on! even thought the lights are turned off!!!
Secondly, my indicators are ticking very fast sometimes. This has happened before and I worked out that water had got into the rear lights clusters and caused the connectors on either side have build up on them I scrubbed them and it did the trick. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop water coming in?
Sorry this is so long but any help would be really really appreciated!
