Clunking sound from front wiper mechanism

[hulmeman]

I'm getting an increasingly harsh clunking sound from my rascal's front wiper mechanism, also a jerky movement.  Any idea what this is likely to be, and how I might resolve it?  I assume it's gonna be a 'mare of a job, removing dashboard etc. I'm game for a go, however tricky, 'cos, beleive it or not, it rains a lot here in Manc!
Thinks......... I must get a manual!

Mmmm, unless you have ultra thin hands & arms it's a pain.
The dash will have to be moved back and/or out.
The bushes or more likely the pivot ball thingy from the motor will be worn.
Often spares on eBay, or Derek of course, but check & grease up those moving joints.
Haynes, as usual, show it 'out' of the vehicle, easy then of course!
I could scan & e mail te relevant pages if need but it's really a case of remove bits, and to quote, 'refitting is a reversal of removal' that's Haynes for you.

Cheers TITCH, Ive just orderered a manual off ebay, but was going to have a go tomorrow, so would appreciate the pages if you can msg them to me.
Off topic, but on the old forum you were offering w/s stickers for a fiver, I'd like one please, let me know how i can get one.

they do get a bit baggy...the joint/pivots ...but like titch says it is a bugger to get at...good luck

As Titch says it is probably the ball joint on the motor or it will be the nylon bushes that connect the operating rods. I have them all in stock. Derek.
