My driver side windscreen wiper has just snapped, does anybody know how much these cost to replace, its snapped right at the bottom?

Its a 55 plate Vauxhall corsa.

Any help will be much appreciated

No idea about price mate, call your local autofactors (Camberly etc) for prices.

can pick them up for a fiver at markets etc, motor factor anything from a tenner to twenty

Thanks :thup:

I'm assuming this wouldn't be too difficult to sort out myself, rather than having to take it to a garage?

Easy, but only if you're a qualified spannerw@nker.

ie If you can use a spanner, it's easy.

A tenner sounds a lot - can't you make one out of an old coathanger?

People just aren't resourceful enough these days

I had to have one arm on my old fiat replaced, and it cost £100. Try and avoid that, then.

What's the best place for getting replacement blades online? The likes of Halfords seem a bit of a rip off.

Don't say things like that

Had a decent look at it this morning and it seems like a nice easy job tbh.

In my case, the wiper has a rocker arm or something like that - it helps support the wiper and stops it from flapping around. Trouble is, the whole thing 'conveniently' comes as a unit, so you can't replace individual parts.

I was most pleased. I'd like to think that Vauxhall are better than Fiat in these instances anyway. Hence binning my car eventually. :thup:
