Just change the entire linkage under the scuttle panel.
Dosn't take long - just unplug & undo the wiper motor , take off the wiper arms, undo the 6 bolts holding the linkage in and slide the whole lot out of the bulkhead hole.
Replacing is just a reverse of the above.
Is it a classic ? - if so any year of classic will fit.

I've a list of 40 breakers you could try just E mail me as per profile & I'll send you a copy.

Before I start a new post on this.

I am getting this problem on mine (classic phase 2 99). After reaching under the screen scuttle I have found the bush on the relay rod linkage where it connects to the wiper motor is where I am getting play.

Regards the unplugging the wiper motor. I have tried unfastening the wiper motor from the bulkhead and can unbolt it no problem. Haven't worked out how I should unfasten the wiper motor from the relay rod though

Don't want to break or butcher anything trying to separate them. How exactly do I seperate the wiper motor from the linkage? Please!!

Thanks Guy

Have you unbolted the linkage from the bulk head ?

Nope haven't unbolted the linkage at all yet, just took a preliminary look at the weekend to work out where the play was coming from. Couldn't work out though how the linkage seperated from the wiper motor.

Thanks Guy

I can't recall of the top of my head, but I do remember it being simple once all the linkage & wiper motor were undone.

Easiest way is to find a scrap one & learn as you dismantle the bits you need.

If your anywhere near Lancashire I'll give you a hand.

Thanks for the offer of help Chris , but I am in Hampshire.

Should be able to do it myself no probs have built a plaything too http://brookespeed.v21hosting.co.uk , just dislike taking things apart when it isn't obvious how to seperate them

Its obvious when you loosen the linkage enough to see how it connects to the motor - good luck
