Is it fixed now?

Nearly.. I've ordered a used wiper motor from ebay £30, and a new wiper arm £15, going to try and fit it myself, otherwise it's £40 labour from the Peugeot garage.

It's secure on the window at the moment but I might just snap it off for when I next use it, just in case.

I was at the nick today in the canteen, talking to another officer, and she told me about a right gobby !!!!!! with attitude, dressed like Kermit the frog, screaming round in a beat up old car with his bro's, car obviously been involved in hitting something, and with a wiper hanging off, but she decided instead of giving a fixed penalty of VDRS, she would let him off, and now she hears he is gobbing off to his mates that "she" had the attitude, can't believe it and certainly won't let him off again, still two sides to every story ; )

Reminds me of the ending of http://27bslash6.com/foggot.html

This post is in no way intended to liken the OP to the idiot in those emails, just to be clear.

I can think of 4 UK police forces off the top of my head that still have them at headquarters.

i would have snapped it off and said what wiper

Nice one.. but that could work both ways with some coppers. They could just smash your headlight with their baton in retaliation then say "you've a light out". Your word against theirs.

I actually confirmed with her what the issue was. Was it that it didn't clean the window, or that it wasn't in the correct place. Apparently it's because it's not in the correct place. I asked if I removed it all together is that okay, and she said 'oh yes, that's fine'.

Was it hanging over your number plate? If it makes just one digit look slightly different, that could explain why it caught her attention.
