Yep ur right with the knuckles, just took a huge chunk out of my index finger tryin to hold the motor linkages still while i loosen the nut securing the motor smileys/smiley13.gif took me an hour to find the right damn tools, garage is a mess smileys/smiley5.gif im stuck now at removing the shim washers and circlips in order to fit the new linkage part, instructions dont tell me which bit that is, i cant work out what else there is thatll actually come off n the swearing has begun! lol

any ideas with those circlips n shim washers?

Wiper conversions been fitted, the silver blades are no more! took bloody ages tho, at least an hour to find all the right tools i needed to start with smileys/smiley7.gif then its took me about 2 hours to get it all fitted- looks much better but the place i got it from hasnt supplied me with the right fitting to connect the blade to the arm! smileys/smiley7.gif had to improvise with small nut n bolt for time being, n ill request the fitting to be sent asap.

ill get a pic up when my hands r warm enuf to operate the camera

All sorted now, blade is fitting flush to window and at parked sits below the tax disk and not above it like in the pic. oh yeh n it all works properly after i took it apart a 2nd time.

Freezin cold now n have some wounds to show but its all worth it smileys/smiley4.gif

Got it from a shop on ebay and it cost me £70. its cheaper if u dont have the one with jets built in.
