Hello its my first time here so a big hello to everybody!

My windscreen wipers came to a clunking halt on my drive into work this morning.

Ive done a search and came across some posts where a similar thing happened.

Ive open up the compartments where the parts are and it looks like the linkage is broken? (Is this the correct name)

Does anyone know what i need to do to fix this or do I need to order a complete wiper unit?

Thanks for any help!

Ive attached some photos below...



I managed to reattached the link but its not secure.



This is the part thats broken. It fits back on but is very loose. I tried the wipers again after reattaching but it broke as soon as i put the wipers on.

(Sorry i should say its an S Reg Mazda 323)!

youve posted in the pre 1994 section mate

Yes mate exactly the same problem i had with mine. You need to source yourself a secondhand linkage but when you do make sure the guy takes it off all as one so the the ball joints don't get popped off, once they pop off they don't hold on quite as tightly.
