If the arm is stuck on the spindle a small puller is useful.

As a complete novice, what will I find under the removed scuttle. Is there anything that needs servicing or is it just for getting to the the rear of the dashboard? Is there any photos of the removed scuttle?

It will give you acess to the wiper motor and linkage and also more room to get to the HBV AND dis pack if not DBW variants. :y

Power sounder, more room to change the Heater Bypass Valve, coolant temp sensors, wiper linkages for when they've been turned on & the wiper blades have frozen to the screen & then the wipers park somewhere other than the bottom of the screen & DIS pack ;)

I had to take the wipers and scuttle off to get easier access to the matrix heater pipes.

The heater inside the car wasn't working very well, so I had to flush the matrix.

I've put some photographs of it here:

Never required. Violently wiggling on the hinge never fails - Jimbob, worth an arrow on pic, and mentioning?
