Advice on windscreen wiper/washer stalk.

Took our CF facelight autosleeper for it's MOT yesterday, and it passed without advisory! Not bad, given that it's spent most of the past 3 years sat in a field!

However, I've still got a little bit of a problem. The stalk for the windscreen wiper was broken,or rather, the little grey rocker type switch thing that it sits in was broken. The garage took the fairly draconian step of incorporating a seperate rocker switch to power the screen wash (why they couldn't just use the existing 'end of stalk' thing I don't know), and used what looked like a sort of plasticy solder to re-attach the stalk to the original grey, rocker type thing.

Couple of issues with this, though.

The solder type stuff looks as if it's starting to split already. Does anybody know where I can get a replace rocker, or has any ideas about how to repair the existing one? I'm sort of thinking that some sort of cable-tie or jubilee clips wound tighly round would hold it securely in place, but I'd be grateful for any better ideas!

Secondly, the windscreen wipers and the screen wash don't always work. It appears to be down to a loose connection behind the fuse box, leading into the washer fuse. Given that I'm a complete electrical novice, how easy is it to repair this sort of thing? Does it need soldering, or can you use joining blocks or similar?

Also, can anyone recommend any covers for their Beddy? As mentioned, we store it in a field, and I'd rather our ageing beauty wasn't subjected to the full force of the elements!

Thanks.

Stu.
