Does anyone know what the wiper assembly comes from. The parts list suggests a mini. My offside wiper blade has decided to only rotate in one direction. The good news is that every 4 wipes it starts in the correct place. Its not doing my wings and bonnet any good though. Each time it rotates the wheel in the wheel box slips and will not bring the wiper blade back. I have managed, after nearly dislocating every bone in my body, to get the box off, grease it up, turn it a quarter turn to miss the burred teeth and refit it. There cannot be a bigger b$%ch of a job. Sadly it still does not work.

If read my posting yesterday you will see I have now got a body-off, rear outrigger repair, trailing arm replacement, re-assemble job on my hands. Best part is that when I finish all that my wiper assembly will be waiting to greet me as we both ponder our future at the MOT station.

Looking forward to my summer.

Can't really add to this Steve, except to say I've heard that they originally come from a mini, or possibily a maxi.
S's eh, never rains just pours, which in the case of the wipes not working is not good .

Drop Psychobert a line - he pulled his wiper assembly apart fairly recently...

Not much help but they are nothing like the ones I have had on any Mini
