step 4: use the 13mm spanner to undo the first nut,once removed,the wiper arm should come off,i used a flat screwdriver to prise it off :angry:

step 7:Now undo the 4 gold bolts using your 10mm socket,once undone remove the motor,i found removing it by pulling the right side out first.

step 8:Go to wickes and get a 25mm bung,these come in packs of 10 @ £1.58.

step 9:Give the area a clean up and bung in your bung.It may be a bit tight,but trust me it will fit.
step 10:Stand back and admire your mod for less than £2 :cool:
