99 Opel Astra - Wiper Motor

So my wiper motor finally gave up the ghost, and the linkages are also worn. Its a 99 Opel Astra (mk4).

Can anyone tell me if this is the correct replacement part.

http://cgi.ebay.ie/Genuine-Vauxhall-Astra-G-Mk4-1998-04-front-wiper-motor_W0QQitemZ140339456023QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item20ace22817&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I dont want to buy new as i got a quote for €300 for the motor and linkage, and i dont want to put that money into this car.

Any other tips on where to get these ? Seem very hard to find in ireland - rang about 10 breakers, no joy - all said it would be very hard to find one of these as they are in demand.

Looks like the one alright. As you know they all go in the astras and you're buying a second hand part which is likely to go at some stage. As long as you're willing to risk that go for it.

Well im based in Cork and rang all in the region yesterday with no joy. I might take my chance with the ebay one - i need the linkages too.

i think we paid 50/60 euro at the time for it from the scrap yard, do traynors up north deliver i wonder?

I see bidding has ended on that item, that looks right though

Could you not drill down thruogh the linkage joints and put in a split pin like you can in the Carina
