 |
|
Can anyone help me with an exploded diagram of the rear wiper assembly?
When I got the car it wasnt fitted (in a box of bits in the boot) I have now fitted it but when it rains water is coming in, so I am wondering if I am missing a piece.

S2 rear wiper
If all there, seal with dum dum putty, fernox ls-x (plumbers sealant) or bath sealant etc.

Good stuff John.
Just read the autoitalia article where your car featured, at MDZ Italtec - the 145 looks like a bad deal in every way compared to the 33 and MITO. Has your 33 got unusually heavy steering

Nope IMO my 33 has got power steering that actually has some feel to it, unlike the Mito. My Dad's minari with s2 rack and button steering wheel- now that IS heavy.
The 145 they used was a 1.6 facelift model. They deliberately didn't use a decent 'mk1' 2.0 clover, because it would have p*ssed all over the Mito  .

Yep, that makes sense regarding the 145. It was a poorly researched shallow article. Would have been interesting to say that the 145 and 33 were more fun to drive than the MITO  (and isn't that what alfas should be about anyway)

Hi Ian, yes sorry I did feel a bit guilty about hijacking the thread, but was in a rush. I'm not sure I still have that part anywhere, but will have a look next time I am near my storage garage. Can you not still get it new?

Stroke of luck...I took all carpet etc from the boot to dry and there was
No 4 (on diagram) hiding down by the spare wheel and is now installed
and hopefully no more water will enter via that route.
So thankyou John for your kind assistance.
As for Paul, no help whatsoever, I have no further use for this thread so
hijack away mate.
