It’s wiper arm failure day ‘again’.
The thin stick bit has broken at the bit where it’s riveted to the meaty bit. On close inspection there ain’t alot of meat left in that stick when they drill out for the rivets so it looks like I’m in the market for a new set.
I can’t remember the manufacturer but I replaced them while still being fobbed off with britpart crap from paddocks so since angrily closing my account with them I’m now looking for proper ones.

Any suggestions?

How close are they in size to Peugeot ones ?, and no I don't know what model, I know someone used the heated jets for winter tho ...
 
It would seem the stainless ones for a series are up to four times the price of the stainless mini ones.

Someone’s avin a larf :mad:

I like the lack of rivets.
It rained on the way home this morning and the weld snot held out. Might get a few years out of it :oops:
Your lucky the wipers work….
I only sit in the passenger seat on the S1 & the wiper is manually operated. Plus it’s better not to see how the mrs drives

I remember all too well reaching through the steering wheel to help the tired wiper motor in the snow.
So glad this one has a series 3 bulkhead with the 3 wiper motor fitted. Although, the wiper position changes as and when. Spoze I should put a the gubbins on my to do list :(
