You can try Ebay (look for people breaking Galaxys, sharans, or Alhambra's ) or your local breakers.

Check it is the correct version....there are at least 2 different ones.

 

However these are very common failures and a lot of people are looking for them......good luck.

 

You may be better trying to repair it !

I don't know, when the i brougnt the mechansim it would not turn, i then compared the wiper mech. to your picture and they did not look right(changed the arms around on the pivot opposite motor and it started to work.

It now goes down a fraction before going up then rests at about the middle of the screen, a friend mine seems to think the motor is nackered??

thanks for the help.
