Which defenders had flick wipe...........

[Disco-Ron]

And........ can i simply get the stalk with that function and fit it on my 300 that doesn't have it...........??

[western]

all have a flick wipe facility, just flick the stalk down & release, later vehicles 300Tdi on certain models have a intermittent facility on the front wipers see below

This is how I changed my 1989 110 to intermittent wash/wipe using genuine LR parts

Both my 200's have intermittent in the down position, then off and then normal and fast continuous.

To do a flick wipe I usually just push it up against the spring enough to trigger the wipe, but not enough to latch over onto normal speed. Tricky, but doable

Alternatively just push it either up into normal or down into intermittent and then back to off again. The motor will finish the wipe as normal if your park switch is working properly.

You could always fit a britpart wiper switch, then you'll have intermittant wipers, but not when you need them

Mine has intermitent down, hence my question............ it does my head in, i'd rather have flick wipe and no intermittent..................

I can still get a flick wipe, just enough downward movement so the stalk doesn't latch, you can revert to the older system, but you;ll need the other stalk & disconnect the intermittent realy/wiring from the rest of the vehicle, bit of a retrograde step IMHO.

If the water tank is empty, the push-to-spray is essentially a flick wipe

My 1987 V8 SW has flick wipe and no intermittent.

You push the stalk down for flick, and up once for slow continuous wipe, and up again for slightly faster.

I recently replaced my stalk with a PRC3900 because the spring had gone, that was the right part for the flick wipe.

Presume you have a relay/delay unit that you'll have to remove.

it's written in the manual, you push it upwards slightly just before it clicks into normal wipe to do a flick wipe.

Serious. it's in the Td5 manual.

[western]

but on a pre 200tdi vehicle the flick wipe function is a stalk down spring loaded return to off selection.

[Andrew Chua]

so LR cheated us of this in lieu of a intermittent wipe.

what is this.... how come they can't implement a pull and release to flick wipe.

[western]

if you flick the stalk down but don't let it latch, it'll still do a flick wipe, at least mine does.
