Wifey's Corsa C's rear wiper motor has packed up. I can't get one for under £160 and that's on trade.

Anyone know why they're so stupidly expensive and where I can get a cheaper one from? Otherwise I'll be forced to try a £15-20 eGay special.

Cheers chaps

Corsa forum boys quote :

.Had similar problem with my rear wiper ...Intermitant fuse blow! Checked the wiring in the rubber tube by the tailgate hinge
and found a couple of broken wires...... joined them up with connectors....problem solved

Quite a few motors on eday .

Yes they rarely actually fail, usually a wire break

Ecp are £132 trade for a rear motor although you should be able to screw them down a bit more

I checked it for voltage and it gets battery voltage when switched on. My electrics knowledge ain't all that lol but could I still see 12v at the connector but then there's a short on the ground side?

Cheers for that Henry. Sadly we aren't allowed to order from them. Orders from our boss

For the sake of 20 quid against 160 new, I think I know what I would be doing, they either work or they dont.

I dont know this for a fact but guessing Tigra, Astra etc from same year would have the same part number and so would widen your search.

Thanks Zirk.

I think I'll check all the wiring first. I presume it's the standard wire breakage where the rubber cover is in the boot area where it bends / gets caught up etc?

If not I'll get a twenty quid spare

A little off topic   

What site is there to read about stripping a rear door down on a 14 plate corsa.
I need to replace the post between the rear door drop and door vent

Yes think so...just wanted to see modern day fixings..(owing to they like to hide them) but not much has changed... still the horse shoe clip on the wind ups then
