Simon Smith Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 My wiper mother is typically Landrover in that it has two speeds, slow and almost stationary. It can barely clear a damp windscreen but OK in a downpour. Has anyone found a more powerful one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Standard/OEM should be fine. Might be worth replacing with new and checking the linkage is all running smooth and no slop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 One thing to check before you get into pulling the drive and wheel boxes and/or replacing the motor is the earth wire connection which should be a terminal under one of the motor clamp bolts . With it being a bolt into a loose nut plate there is plenty of scope for a bad earth . Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 As above, standard one is perfectly satisfactory when working correctly. Repair is far easier than sourcing / manufacturing an aftermarket alternative. Does motor work ok or is it sluggish? - Check wiring and / or replace motor. Are spindles stiff / seized? - Lubricate and / or replace. Is the drive cable stiff, worn or seized in the tubing? Remove / inspect / lubricate / replace as necessary. Do arms flop around on the screen? - Check arms & spindles / replace if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
