Tamora wiper arm assembly failure

[BuzzBillsberry]

Hi all,

Whilst on my way back from Le-Mans this Monday, in heavy rain and a 100 miles to go to the Chunnel. The wipers failed, fortunately I had rainex on the screen and as long as I kept it at 70mph it was clearing very well. I made it to the services and found that the linkage had fatigued and failed right on the central pivot bearing.



There was nothing I could do to rectify it other than Rainex up and carry on my journey. The inlet filter box is deeply scored and I'm so pleased I didn't fit the carbon airbox!

Anyway does anyone know if I can get a new pivot point section? or do I have to buy the complete arm assembly? or perish the though, the wiper system ?

Very helpful thanks chaps the number for matador I believe and iirc is on the assembly so I'll give them a call...I'll update hopefully when I have it resolved.

This was the damage caused to the airbox.... So glad I didn't install the Carbon airbox

I've contacted matador by email and I'm just waiting their reply
