Took the wiper mechanism off my tintop to 'borrow' another spindle………
…….Back to square one, ended up taking the main carrier plate off my tintop,
Now there's a slippery slope if ever I saw one….. using the tintop as a donor for a cabby!!

So welcome to the floppy side of life.
Personally, I've always been a 'Floppy' but that's another story!

LOL - don't panic Graham, there's not much else to take off my tintop To be fair the tintop one really needed replacing, this is a stop-gap, I will keep an eye out for good second hand ones for both cars now

Oh dear…..Hope this is not a distraction from the hard top….I know you only bought it for the "wind in the hair" experience……
Now you know that's not possible! lol Nope this, whilst it will need the odd job, isn't a project for me, the tintop will not get neglected

If you think your MFA issue might be stalk related, I could drop you one to play with at the pub meet. Pm me.
Yeah I was thinking it must be stalks as the clock still works. That would be great - see you in 2 weeks then

I spotted this on Thursday night and guy sent me pics including surface rust under front lights and I thought it looked tidy although he told me everything in working order so didn't mention Mfa fault.i liked the Azevs and think they look good.i also liked the price and thought it was too good to be true.

He did mention he had a few queuing up to see it - sorry pipped you to it.
He said no mechanical faults so was surprised to find the issue with the wipers but overall it is one tidy car.
So this afternoon I got home and thought I'd bleed the brakes as whipping the Azev's off to put on the BBS.
First wheel off, bleed nipple wont budge and after last nights escapade I thought I don't want to risk it - the garage can change the fluid for me. No worries, I'll just put the BBS on I thought. Oh no, one of the locking wheel nuts had been previously mullered - it's that type with two little holes in and two pins on the socket key which I think is just pants!
Fortunately at this point I had only put one BBS on (which does look good) so garage will have to sort this too. Maybe the Azev's are trying to tell me something!
So it's not been plain sailing on these 'little' jobs I wanted to sort but it's still appears to be a straight car and at a good price so I'm happy
