[front windscreen wiper, park]

quick update, traced to a faulty park switch which was renewed however this did not cure the fault, when the park switch had failed prior to my ownership rather than replace the park switch..the owner decided to cut the park wires at the wiper stalk, quick repair and hey ho they work, thanks for all you replies

Voltage at the blue wire and the red wire however when i remove the yellow wire nothing happens, is this the permanent voltage supply wire.

The old park switch was broken the plunger was ineffective

If the yellow wire is the permanent voltage supply i would have thought that as soon as i requested window wipe that the wipers would never switch off.

Just took a look.at the old park switch and now I get it, the plastic plunger affects the switch, will do some checks tomorow, i should be able to take the switch off and operate by hand.

If this works out fine then it looks like simpler or cheaper to buy a new motor.

I reckon i should be able to renew keeping the wormed wire in situ..

thanks for the replies, not had chance to check voltage or wiring but I have got something to go at. so the switch is affected mechanically by the gear?

Will check wiring and voltages, think the motor brushes are good as the motor works fine.

I can use two speed and when i press down have continuous wipe until i let go then the wiper stops when i let go of the switch.

recap wonder if the gearing is out of alignment or the part that operates the switch is worn.

Not too expensive to renew completely i guess..

Thanks again great support

ok good stuff, how does the park switch know when to cut the voltage

, have done search not much found

[front windscreen wiper, park]

Ta, the stalk does not stay down when pressed down so there is no wiper relay? I have just had a nosey and there is two relays behind the fuse box to the left of it. One on the far left is a small square black unit and to the right of this is a rectangular glass one, any idea what these do.

Hi i have a 1990 defender and have just fitted a new park switch to the wiper motor hoping that this would solve the wiper parking problem . Basically i decide where the wipers stop by tutning them off.

Question..is there a wiper relay also in this circuit or is my landrover to old.

I have tried numerous searches but found nothing conclusive.

Sounds interesting would that be a case off splicing into the charge wire on the alternator.

[daytime running lights]

Beltin thank you will let you know how i get on.

[daytime running lights]

Beltin, thank you

[daytime running lights]

No great reason other than i was given some nice looking leds, unlike defenderish?

[daytime running lights]

Hi is the negative not disconnected when the oil pressure rises and breaks the pressure switch this in turn breaks the circuit and renders the supply positive.

Yes i will be running the feed via a 12volt relay switched off by the side light supply.

Thanks for the offer of a circuit diagram, i have a 12v normally closed relay which will be switched off by the side light supply

[daytime running lights]

Sounds like a plan, fused take off from the oil pressure circuit it is,ta

[daytime running lights]

Good stuff, think i will look at taking off the alternator warning light circuit with an in line fuse i believe led lights don't take high current.if you were to use the oil pressure supply wire would that not supply a variable reading as i guess this circuit incorporates variable resistor

[daytime running lights]

Was really looking for a 12 volt supply, would the alternator warning light do this?

[daytime running lights]

Hi in the new year I will be fitting some day time running lights. I want to pick up on a positive ignition supply from the engine bay area rather than run a supply from the cab area. Any ideas where i could tap into.

Here is a picture of the section also has anyone seen this set up, loke a skirt at the door end

Hope this gets there corroded area and unusual skirt sdt up

Took a picture on my phone will try to download, it is situated at the bottom rear corner mount, a steel corner section riveted to the side panel and rear quarter panel. The hole on this plate from which the locating stud pokes through from the cappings has corroded away it has a bowled section. May look at getting done local.local

[defender side panel repair/rust]

hello got some side panels of Ebay however theta rear steel corner mount has corroded away ...is there a repair section for this? Cannot find anything anywhere

[defender side panels]

Hi thanks just won a set on ebay, let me know if you want any pics etc of the set coming off thanks again

The cut line on my existing defenders blind spot masai side panel starts 80mm forward of the normal cut line, i want to fit standard side windows and thought of swapping the side panels but have had a second thought.

What your opinion of fitting the side windows using the existing cut line which starts at the forward lower mounting bracket do you think this acceptable

Any views welcome ta

[defender side panels]

Bril sounds easy thank you. What would you say was a good price for a second hand pair

[defender side panels]

Can anyone tell the process for removal, also are there any for sale out there just bought some nice windows, my van has masai blind spot ones in at the moment and want to convert to standard windows ta
