Hi again guys,
new issue with my mk1 diesel, i had been storing many things on the convenient parcel shelf above the engine bay, jumper cables, spare parts, 5L of rimula x and some old boxer shorts to wipe off the dipstick....unfortunately, i had no idea just how the wiper linkage system and motor works. in short, the boxer shorts became entangled in the wiper motor and linkages and killed it..... i managed to get the motor off and pull it apart and inside is a plastic cog which is all cracked up around the seat that connects it to a small shaft that in turn is connected to the linkages.

i imagine that not many of you would be quite so silly as to do this and may have wrecks with wiper motors that are not required.... if anyone has a spare one, please let me know your price with postage to area code 7052, tasmania along with your bank account details and i will credit your account via netbank.

as you can imagine, tassie isnt the sunniest place in the world and its required asap... beware however, you need a 10mm spanner to get it off and due to its location, its a right b1tch to undo....once you get the incredibly cheap and nasty black plastic cover aside....

also, i know there is a parts wanted page but i thought it might be quicker to post here and by way of circumventing the rules i have added some pics of my new ride.... no rare swallow tail or paintjob, just a very basic mk1 diesel. i thought i had paid too much by paying $750 for it, but given what i have seen advertised on ebay recently, i think i got a bargain.... reco head on it too....
