MG MGF Technical - Wiper linkage 2000 vvc

Hi all, just found this BBS and cant tell you all how please I am!
I had the pleasure of my wiper linkage fail this morning and on further investigation I found the shorter (n/s) wiper arm had come away from the ball joint. Could anyone give any tips or point me in the right direction as to the easiet way to remove the motor / linkage assembly so as to replace the damaged part?

Cheers in advance

Tim, if you register (it's free) you'll be able to search the archives. There is a lot on wiper linkages in there. I think there was a recent thread about someone with similar problems and if I recall correctly Andy Phillips (Scarlet Fever) said that there was an easy way to remove the motor and linkage.

Tim,

had this problem twice.

The wiper linkage should be available separatly from the motor at your dealers or from parts suppliers like

Better is to check Mike saturīs linkage, which seems to be of a sturdier design.

or you can try to fix it yourself:

Thanks

Hi tim, I had the same problem about a month ago. I bought mike satur's linkage, got a local garage to fit it and it works, not a problem.
