Invaluable video my friend, thank you. I've got a micra K12 and the wipers were working, but were super smeary and vibrating, even with new wipers. Also, on full speed the wipers were hitting the scuttle panel. Followed your video and fitted the exact same linkage rods from Wipex, and all sorted now. The old ones had so much play in them. Thanks again.

6 to 8 weeks on a part sure is a long time Rob. That aftermarket linkage look just as good or even better than the OEM. And I'm sure it was a lot cheaper which should really make the customer happy. Great workmanship as always! 😀👍

Nissan are terrible when it comes to spares. Had the same sort of wait time for a rear foglight switch a couple of years ago. On top of that the garage had to half dismantle the dashboard as, although the switch was designed to pop in from the front, the wires weren't long enough to disconnect the old one without having a hand behind the dashboard.

Got this same job to do this week, just waiting for the linkages to arrive. Funny thing, I had a 1983 Ford Sierra years ago that used the same idea of those plastic cups (a lot easier to get at though). Used to pop off regularly, usually driving up the motorway on a wet day. I bodged it a few times jamming it with a mars bar wrapper. No eBay back then and the breakers wouldn't sell me the linkage, only the whole assembly. In the end I think I deformed the loose end with a heat gun and flipped the linkage so the cups were on different balls and it never came off again. Seems strange they still use parts like this that are clearly made to fail.

Thank you couldn't have done it without you. Never tried before . Had no tool for wiper one came off handy other not so. But sprayed WD 40 left overnight. Tip leave nut loose don't take off completely and put wiper position as if changing. Then wiggle while pulling. Worked.. also when clipping new rod to arm I cracked one plastic bit ( but still fine ) maybe use cloth or something when pressing. Also just check u have clipped on as I didn't do one right si fell off when put in car. But just took all out again clipped on heard snap ,put all back again Happy days. I when putting wipers back no harm putting towel or something on windscreen in case wiper snaps down again wiper on then nut loose then lay on windscreen . Thanks again ..

Nice video rob, another cheap fix with those linkages drill a hole in the center of the ball and socket regrease it pop it back on, then put a small washer at either side of it and then split pin. Make sure to cut off excess of the split pin because it will catch on the linkage or wiper motor.

Same happened to me 10 or so years ago when I had a BMW E34 525tds. Went to the main dealer, got a silly quote for a full linkage. However the parts guy knew his stuff and said he was sure just the primary linkage was available separately. Strangely enough it was listed for the petrol models but not the diesels. That was a similar price difference I think, £30 Vs £250+

I love your channel because you are presenting a whole range of auto repair(different kind of repairs). Can i have your opinion on this matter. Kia Magentis 2008 ABS+EBD Automatic FWD. Today i stopped at red light.When i released the brake to continue the car didn't move and i needed to press hard on acceleration in order to move it(very slow) to side of the road. In "Neutral" and parking brake DEactivated i lifted every wheel of the car and all of them were hard locked.The brake pedal was jelly soft .NO ABS light, no brake fluid loss.I continued pressing the the brake pedal tens of times to the floor and suddenly everything is back to normal. (pedal got stiffer like before) I've driven 25km since then and no problems.What could it be? :)
