Old chugger

Update on dash pressure gauge LED lamp. Struck out at Halfords, their best suggestion was eBay. Local independent car spares shop not only recognised part on sight, BU 286, they stocked it. £1 and 10 minutes later with a screw driver, all fitted and working.

Thanks Western. Wipers now working normally. Well as normal as possible with any LR... Bulb replacement is on the agenda for this weekend. Thanks to everyone for your help. Chugger

Thanks Bowie69 and Western. I think I may choose the easy route and replace bulb and carrier. Trip to Halfords for me tomorrow then! Cheers

Thanks Western, Neil and Mo. I located the pesky blighter and have one on order. Decided to change a blown instrument lamp whilst I had it all out. Getting the little sod out of the carrier is a skill I haven't mastered yet. I think I'll just buy a new carrier and lamp? Halfords? That's my first visit behind the dash, I somehow think it won't be my last ?

Thanks Western

Hi Mo. Thanks for both the welcome and the guidance. At the risk of pushing my luck, which of the 3 relays behind the clocks is the wiper one? Also, intrigued how to get variable intermittent wipe when stalk switch only has single position down for intermittent? Finally, you figured that Old Chugger referred equally to me as the 90 ? Cheers Mo ..

Oops. Should have said any help gratefully received... Update. Hot wired direct from pos on battery, wipers worked well, so, assume problem elsewhere. Been reading up on location of relay for wipers, if what I've found is correct, it's part of the CCU? If this is the case, what's involved in replacing CCU and is his expensive? Should I consider just installing dash switch with inline fuse instead?

Hi all I'm new to all this, so please bare with me. Trying to fault find on front wiper problems. Started with fuse, stupidly replaced it and of course it blew again. Suspect it's the relay as been having problems with parking wipers and the intermittent sweet was constant. Being tight wanted to confirm motor was OK before changing relay, so took out top dash to reveal motor, intent on hot wiring to check motor. Now faced with array of coloured wires and come to a stop as I'm more mechanical than electrical. If I ignore the loom and go for the motor directly, which of red, yellow and blue do I take feed from battery to? I suspect red, but don't want to cause any damage... Also, can I assume the earth is good or should I provide earth wire to battery too? If so, which colour and any particular sequence first? Any help fearfully received. Ta.
