To be fair the car is not a lemon just getting on abit 110,000, Just got a couple of bits that have sprung up and want to get them sorted before the inlaws get all judgmental. Its definatly electrical i know the smell to well i plan to pull the loom apart to make sure it hasn't found its way deeper. Just wondered if the switches throw a wobly after they get old and dusty. Would a short in the wiper circuit set off the service warning light ? (that was something that popped up that worried me more) Apart from that just have to get a new handle for the passenger seat and figure out whats up with the passenger window. Cheers guys

Get the misses a nice little 1.4 16v looks perfect and cheep. but get it home starts to rain so switch on the wipers and get a little puff of smoke out of the steering colum followed by the aromer of burning wire. It seems to be the rear wiper select that sets it off but the stalk wont selected fast only intermitant it wont move up at all. Is this anything anyone has come accross before. Is there a seperat fuse for the rear wiper if there is a short? I haven't opened it up yet ill have to wait till i can get it into work on monday.
