Been clunking for years, suppose I really should tackle replacing the worn linkage, is there a kit, or is it not that simple, the wipers touch the rubber and can be moved up an inch or two when stationary, any pointers.

I changed my wiper motor/linkage assembly last winter, its not a bad job. Took the bonnet off, then the wipers and scuttle (removing the windscreen side trims first). All in all took me about an hour.

They sometimes suffer from the bolts that hold the motor to the bulkhead coming loose, might be worth checking first. You still need to remove the bonnet, scuttle etc to access it though

In front of the windscreen and behind the bonnet, its not essential to remove the bonnet to replace the gubbins, just a bit easier.
