Didnt really know where to put this but its in mechanical now anyway

So story is i can only squirt my screen wash when i actually use the windscreen wipers, e.g. turn wipers on from stalk then pull back the stalk to use washers, is this the same in all novas or is there a problem with my stalk or connection somewhere?:confused:

Nope there's something wrong there. I'm guessing the stalk has broken, it's usually that over the connectors.

Lol ok cheers all ill have a good old gander when ive got the time, was thinking about selling the nova anyway or swapping, wanna build a x16xe/c16xe nova with t40's but need money first, just a dream at the minute i think but might fit a 1.4/1.6 16v if i can find one cheap enough, quick info on where i could find a cheap one easily, would be handy but ill start a new thread if needed:thumb:

Just whack a new stalk on it instead of boring us with your pipe dreams of a 1600 XE on carbs.

Lol eye eye capin' still, i do want a 1.4/1.6 16v but thought about it more, and without carbs will do for a long while, sorry for boring you!

Your best bets got to be pick up a 1.4/1.6 16v motor from your local scrap yard i would have thought, my local one would charge sub ?200 for one
