By the way great roads in cornwall well worth a visit.

Lee, Same thing happened to me a while back, pretty easy to fix Remove the bonnet, and you'll see the connecting rod has popped out at the N/S. Go to Halfords, and get some JB metal weld stuff, and smear that over the wiper stub....dont put any in the tube, as it'll hydraulic, and you wont get it all the way back in!. I've read of some people drilling, and bolting it, so that's another option?

turned out the bolt that holds arm on to tapered spline was loose two minute fix.The one on drivers side was also loose but luckily no damage caused but worth checking next time you take bonnet off.
