   Anyone know of a cheaper option than Ebay for a Single Wiper conversion as £70 seems abit steep I might just take one of the wipers off if thats what its going to cost.

   I thought Of that idea but didn't know if it worked.
   
   Is it a proven method or just an idea?

   he's saying ' i hope you didn't waste money on a single wiper kit, when you could have an ax wiper motor for a lot cheaper'. i'd do it (if i wanted a single wiper, but i don't as i think they look shit )

   Sean I'm glad you can read as I seem to have lost the ability and I like the single wiper thing.
   
   Its worth a go for the price of an Ax wiper, I could buy a whole AX for £70.

    im guessing its the front ax wiper motor? could you fit a saxo rear wiper motor or would that not work?

    I dont think the rear would work but the AX only has a single wiper at the front so in theory it'll work.

    yes it's the ax front wiper, they both have the same plug on them (the saxo and ax motor that is)

    ax wiper motor??????
    
    pretty sure you all mean the linkage and not the motor,the linkages are totally different between a single and a double thats what you'll want the motor just operates the linkage its the linkage that needs to be changed so it'll cover a greater area
