Well the rain is back and guess what-the wiper on my side detached, leaving me a 35 mile journey home. The linkage must have come undone, a common fault on my wife's Punto. Is there any info around on how to do it, cost etc?

All done and hammerited over now. Will keep fingers crossed!

Think inner sills are ok as they seem solid from underneath and behind. Will do as you say and keep fingers crossed. Thanks

My 94 Mav is due MOT next month and noticed rear of both sills have had previous(dubious - looking) repairs. How critical are these and why?

Cost me £390 fitted in 4 hrs for 2.7 diesel

I have an appointment now with the consultant who did the relocation in 4 weeks time and will seek his opinion as advised. It is one week since I was discharged. Still feel uncertain about driving a manual so am considering an auto option eg Pajero (are they any good?)

Yes thats what I thought. Do you know if the auto 4wd vehicles are any good? Present vehicle 2.7 Maverick diesel manual. A friend recommended Pajero.

Do you mean 6 weeks after it was put back or 6 weeks after the two weeks in traction and discharge?

Thanks, mate. Just hope I can drive manual truck later. Does anyonr know if auto 4wd any good?

Well what happened was my dog barked at a staked horse owned by Travellers on common land in Wakefield. The horse bolted and the chain it was fastened by wrapped round my left leg and pulled it to 90deg over my right one, dragging me along the ground. Was found by someone who sent for ambukance...

Will do. Thanks

Thanks for that. Hip has been re-located for 2 weeks now, but have to keep weight off left foot for 6 weeks further so am on crutches. Trouble is, as it is left leg am eyeing daughter's Toyota atomatic as a possibility in a few weeks. Would this be silly I wonder?

Have exercises from hospital. Wondering about legal/insurance perspective?

Have dislocated hip and had two weeks in traction. Now not allowed to put left foot down for 6 weeks and am hobbling on crutches. Any idea when I can drive again? Maverick a manual but daughter has an auto car.

Nicely-will do. thanks

Its at the front RHS when I turn left

On full lock when coming out of my drive I sometimes get a bonk! bonk! (lucky me!) until I straighten the Mav out. Exit is very tight, Bonking absent in normal driving!!! any experienced bonkers out there?

Thanks for advice - have ordered lump/sledge hammer and will use with block of wood on tyre. Will also buy axle stands.

Looks like I might end up taking Mav to a tyre depot. And if I get a puncture end up getting Breakdown sevice to do it.What a lot of hassle for what should be a simple job!

Even when I do manage to get them off, it seems hard work i9f you get a puncture in the dark etc. Why are they so difficult? Had dozens of cars but never had this before!
