# ooh!
I have a mk3.
It's a great car for cruising or long drives. And since mine's automatic it removes the urge to try and drive like a fake rally driver.
Mine has been on the verge of death for a long time and the bodywork is trashed (by other people not being able to park - it's never been damaged while I was in it, or even while the engine was running for that matter)

# push the wiper control stick away from you.

# But that only makes water spray out of the back sprayer thing
Is the wiper supposed to start working before that happens or after?

# yes, it starts it.
I've never discovered a way to start (or stop) the rear wiper without a squirt of stuff.

# in the rocky you push the windscreen wiper stalk forward

hold it forward if you want the back squirter to work.

# I think mine must be buggered then.
Cos even if I push it forward a little bit, it sprays water and doesn't start the wiper.

And who knows about car speakers?
My back 2 door speakers and the driver side door speaker dont work

# could be that it's got a shit stereo in it
could be it's not connected at the back properly

could be that the speakers are fucked.

any number of things.

i'd pull the stereo out and check the connections at the back to start with, could be things have come lose ot not been connected correctly.

# I think I might change the stereo since its a tape deck
I hope its just a dicky connection in the back rather than some bad wiring somewhere along the line. I can't be arsed with pulling door panels out

# i had to change my wing mirror
that's a bugger to change as mine has the internal adjusters on it, fiddly little things.
