i had the same problem, basically the arm is worn down and there is no way of repacing it without destroying the mechanism, luckily for me i know a welder who welded a dot onto the end and i filed it down so it would fit in to the groves. other than that its £275 for a knew one from renault unless your lucky enough to find one at a scrap yard.
