Don't bother, get a replacement set from Leven, cheaper than the originals and better too.

[groucho]

Will do then, Mr M.

[groucho]

Can't see them on leven's website. Got a link there, maggit?

You haven't by any chance got the arms that pull into two bits in the middle have you Groucho?
The half nearest the spline is plastic and the half which attaches to the wiper blade is metal.
I think these are the original arms but I can't be certain.

I have 1 of these and am looking for another. If you replace yours with Leven ones and therefore have one going I wouldn't mind putting a bid in for it.

Thanks
Ian

Heven't a clue about what you're on about. I can't even find these Leven wipers. If I do find them and they are any good, you're welcome to them, I think.

As long as they're black and do the trick.

Gimmme, gimmee, gimmee a link.

Here they are. You have to click on latest news and scroll down about half way £58 complete kit including new washer jets system ( which is good, I have the 1st sort which are good but these are meant to be even better). Just above the Tuscan Kickplates and below the Griffith Gearstick surround. If you cant find it know then shot me down with a spud gun

Thanks for the 'dot to dot' explanation on their location, BB. Now, do you want to come around my house and show me how to tie my shoelaces?

If you can't understand my description of the wiper arms I think he may have to

I'll take a pic of the old ones tonight and post em' here, barreti.

OK.

[lazyitus]

Groucho, I bought the Leven ones and they rock.

I fitted them myself, so I guarantee you will be able to aswell!

[groucho]

That's that, then.

[groucho]

I don't know whether these pics are any help, barreti. But have a butchers.

[barreti]

Thanks Grouch, you're a star

Bugger of it is, they are the wrong sort. Got one of them, want one of the others.

Probably boring but heres why.
A while ago I got my hands on the the original Leven washer kit, which replaces that big plastic loop with a little plastic thing with jets in it. Said little plastic thing slides onto the wiper arm.
Not on the sort you've got it doesn't though. How? Well on the original fit arms they were in 2 pieces. the car end was plastic and blade end was metal. The Metal part of the arm into the plastic end clicked in.
So to fit the washer kit, you pulled the wiper arm apart, slid washer jet plastic bit onto the metal part of the arm and put it back together again.
If you notice, yours has a rivet so it doesn't come apart.

You can wake up now Grouch, I've finished Thanks for your efforts mate.

[groucho]

No worries.

[Ballistic Banana]

ah ah what was that oh yeah what was it I was going to post.. oh yeah
