24th April 2006, 03:23

24th April 2006, 16:47

24th April 2006, 16:52

yep its a whole new wiper arm asnd blade that you get with the kit and also linkages to replace old ones on the motor.

thats made my mind up then for payday on friday

24th April 2006, 17:33

it took me about an hour to fit mine also got the washer bit built into the wiper also when fitting make sure you put the linkage criss/cross otherwise it wont work properly and got mine from wipex and they phone number is 01684563733

24th April 2006, 22:08

and not like this or it'll all go pete tong

24th April 2006, 23:17

fited mine today and it seems like the blade is too long n e ideas what length it should be

I'd like to start by appologising for digging up an old thread..

Uh! I don't know how the hell you guys managed to do it in 45minutes! I've been working on mine since about 7:30... Fitting it all together was not easy, but do-able.. A few parts wouldn't even fit (the bolt attaching the wiper blade and wiper arm wouldn't fit through the hole and had to be modified, for instance), but getting it to sweep the right area and stop in the right place is beyond me! Currently it's sitting on the drivers side, and sweeps very nicely over to the passenger side (clockwise) and back.. Perfect.. Apart from I want it the other way round and can't get my head round how to do it..

The instructions for this kit are DIABOLICAL! I know it seems you guys didn't have that many problems, but I'm not exactly a mechanical novice, and neither is my father..

Any ideas what I've done wrong or what I have to change to make it work for me?! I always try to help anyone on here if I can so I'd really appreciate any relevant solutions or information...

Thanks,

Freddie.

Oh, and please explain it in stupid terms as I'm obviously retarded seeing as I cannot understand their instructions!

Bumpy..

4th August 2006, 20:45

I'm liking the single wiper conversion I'll that on the wish list.

4th August 2006, 21:34

Just buy an AX lol...... I wonder if the ax motor would fit and work?... it'd be interesting to see

4th August 2006, 21:36

Uh.. I'll figure it out myself then when I get a minute..

That sounds like a plan, a cheap one of that.

4th August 2006, 21:39

Thats what I was thinking if it worked I could charge obscene amounts of money for it.... aren't the kits for the saxo linkage £100+

I think there abit cheaper now around £60 -£70 but you could by a whole AX for that kind of money nevermind the wiper, LOL.
