Just replaced windscreen wiper motors on P35 with ford fiesta rear window wiper motor . Fits & works perfectly £15 each, that's boating on a budget. Again Marine dealers wanted £60 + .

Reminds me, last year enquired cost of replacement wiper blades and told around £45
Went to Halfords and although could not find replacement, bought just rubbers for less than £6. cut them down a bit (about ½") and good as new

Thanks for the tip Mark, think I'll junk my old ones now. Have tried boiling water and a blowlamp, but the steel shaft's still stuck firm in the brass sleeve. In fact I think I've probably used so much heat they're welded together now. Anyone want a pair of slighly used wiper's in need of some work.
Must admit I was a bit reluctant to fork out £60 each, though I was ofered a pair for only £105.
BTW was that £15 a "new" price or secondhand from a scrapyard? Seems really reasonable of new.
