Punto wipers... Known issue. Had to rescue my eldest from m61 when his broke. The fix is whack it back on and weld a washer to the end of the pin it is meant to be on..

Apparently he was still doing 70mph down the M61 while it was being welded

Punto! Bought it for my boys to learn to drive in, 2005.
Ended up using it myself when diesel went to 1.45 a litre. Did 50k in it, then the clutch exploded, and took a chunk out of the gearbox casing, spewing contents of gearbox onto the A34.
Thought about scrapping but found a second hand gearbox. Fixed it in my garage. Got another 10k miles then sold it to my mate for his kids to learn in. That was about 7 years ago and he's just sold it on again.
So old Punto's never die, they slowly regenerate over time!
