Has anyone for a pair or even just a drivers side wiper arm for a Corsa B (or even anything that'll fit!) up for grabs in the back of their shed?
Thanks

They are available at main dealers Pow, about £20 an arm IIRC.

Were there any on that shell Tom?
I'm sure I usually lash them because they don't fail - where is the play? In the arm itself or the splines on the mechanism?

Seems a bit extreme. 40 quids worth of wiper arms on a 60 pound car

Think I paid £30 for a pair a few years back when I had mine from the dealers.

LMF, Pair £20, Plus like £4 postage. Apparently some on ebay too.
Vauxhall want £25 each.
Its normally the riveted hinge bit they go floppy, Same as mine have. Splines go on them too, The arms seem to be made of cheese compared to the motor splines.

If the splines on the mech are worn, no point replacing the arms alone!

If that was to what i said, I meant to say the arms usually fuck up, not the mech. I have seen loads of wrecked arms, but not mechs.

Same.
Ian, both wipers were still fitted to ARO, and the arms were fairly decent - they wandered a little up the screen at high speed (over 90 leptons ) then they didn't
Work at all as they lifted off the screen
I don't see Pow going that speed in his Corsa though!
