Well i have seen threads before about the electrics on Corrado's being a bit iffy but mine has always been ok til now, first up my drivers side leccy window has packed up so i cant open it which is great now the weathers boiling (typical i had no heaters for most of the winter, now they work fine when i dont need them but cant open the window now i want it open! Evil or Very Mad ). Also my windscreen washers seem to have taken on a life of their own and seem to randomly turn on while i am driving, they keep randonly coming on and at one point tonight i had to drive a couple of miles with the wipers going full belt cos the washers were constantly on! Any ideas? scratch

well the good news is i seem to have cured both problems, although both in slightly unproffesional ways! The window was easy, just pulled the switch out, wiggled the wires a bit and it started working!

As for the washers, well I got back from a heavy (but awsome Cool ) weekend at silverstone yesterday and needed to pop out to get some milk for a much needed coffee and they started going off again and would not turn off. At the time seeing as i was feeling the effects a little from weekend mixture of sleep depravation, hangover, sunstroke, nearly drowning, and sleeping on the floor for 3nights (mental note, buy an air bed for next year!) so not in the best of moods i decided that the best thing to do to fix it would be to umm......punch it a little, resulting in Embarassed :

but hey the washers dont keep going off anymore! Laughing (unfortunatly nor do the wipers etc! Suspect ).

Anyone gotta spare?

mate that was funny. I read what you said before jumping to the pic which kinda what i expected!! Laughing

Unfortunately bud, believe the mfa stalk is a common part for going haywire so it maybe me quite hard to track 1 down for reasonable money.
