construction and use regs state "any vehicle with a fixed windscreen capable of exceeding 25mph must be fitted with one or more EFFICIENT wipers and washer. " rear windows dont need either. the wiper must be able to maintain a clear view of the road ahead.

hope this helps

you can fit the fiat uno wiper motor under the scuttle and get a longer wiper arm and it works real sweet :)

Out of interest....where can ya find the construction and use regs ???

MOT requirements arent always in line with legal requirements strangely enough.
Probably only on rare, odd occations.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

I've been looking for an excuse, the fact that the car only has one wiper is one I haven't considered.

im sure the wiper/wipers only have to cover a certian percentage of the drivers side of the windscreen, I dont think they consider the passenger side, for some strange reason!

Its like stone chips on your windscreen as long as it doesn't impare the drivers vision there ok.

If your planning on just taking the passenger wiper off you SHOULD be ok, it all depends on your MOT tester at the end of the day, they all seem to have there "own rules" my mini passed with my wipers not parking with one tester and on a restest for something else a different tester failed it for my wipers not parking!

All swings and roundabouts with MOTs. Lol

i'm just considering it on the grounds off less weight!!! *surprised*P

honestly tho, i like the "look" of just a drivers side wiper like the miglias, if it will MOT with just a drivers i can remove the passeger one & mount & rubber bung the hole

i know this probobly sounds really sad, but some of us have to be,its not like i want a single wiper conversion that mounts from the centre, i'm not sayin its shit if you have one, just not my cuppa T

i think the mot teseters book says something along the lines of "the tester has to be happy that there is adequate vision from the drivers seat" so that combined with the fact that a mini should have 2 wipers and only half will be clear then id rekon that it would fail. also the amount of weight youd save will be minute, why not just have a dump before you drive the mini.*smiley*

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
