muddyplugger Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I believe I need a replacement part here - my wipers don't park, have intermittent function or 2 speed (its very slow). Otherwise works fine! I had a look at what was there and I have read (some where) that I need to replace a bit on the wiper motor. Is it this bit? If so whats it called?? You advice is gratefully received, as ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 does it have a plunger on the back or something to tie-up with the cam on the inside of the gearbox? if it does then that would be the part that does the parking, never had one apart so don't know any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddyplugger Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Yes, it does have a plunger on the back now you mention it! I wiggled it about but it didnt seem to do much! Had no 'spring' to the plunger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatboy Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Muddyplugger, As Minivin says, that indeed is the bit. Check that it is all there - when I did mine, the nose had snapped off the plunger. Then put the wipers on and off, stopping them in the middle of the screen and prod the little plunger. If it does not work then it may be the contacts inside. I never actually had to buy another as I had a scrap motor with a good switch in the garage. I think it is a common switch on many of the older Land Rover motors so should be easily found if not availabe cheaply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
