pw8757 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Recently my windscreen wipers have started playing up. Using wash/wipe, they will go back and forth normally, but stick upright rather than park On intermittent setting 1 they will just go from horizontal to vertical and stick On constant slow setting 2 they will work normally, but not "park" automatically The same applies on fast wipe. Using the stalk, I can park them. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotal Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Are the above guides also applicable to the td5 or does that use a different system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissDriver Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 This happened to me once on a trip in the pouring rain... the only solution we had at the time was to tie a piece of string to each wiper, long enough to reach into the cab and then manually pull on them. As you can imagine this resulted in some hysteria especially from the driver who had to concentrate in the torrential downpour AND do his part in wiper motion I'd suggest getting it fixed before you reach this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparg Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 many years ago I had a 1956 swb motor, and the (pathetic) wipers had the virtue that they had a little manual tab on the back of the exposed motor with which you could apply extra pressure and help the weedy motor along... now those were proper landrovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
