(Home) Wiper fault

I hope I'm not requesting info that's already on site - but here goes anyway. My passenger side wiper is not working. My friendly mechanic, he really is!, says that I may have to have the vehicle off the road for a few days if it turns out that any replacement parts pertaining to the wipers need to be imported. I have found the diagram of the wiper mechanism on this site and there are numbers next to the various components - do these relate to a specific part number available in the UK. If they don't can anyone advise me if the parts are readily available. It's slightly urgent as 4th child due anyday now and can't fit 6 of us in wife's cinquecento!

well, unless the wiper arm is just loose on the shaft, you're in for a big job- the dash has to come out to access the linkage...
BTW, you should've posted a new thread for this question...
