I've managed to locate a park switch for the wiper motor, now got to go about swapping it over. I can't seem to get it off with the motor in situ and it looks like that to get to the bolts that hold it on to the bulkhead I need to remove the water expansion tank?

Is that the correct way to go or is there a 'trick'?

If you have somebody who is very dextrous ,the park switch can be changed in situ,i took the header tank out ,its quicker in the long run.

Yes, I did try a wiggle jobs but even my small hands were too big!

Child labour may be required. It'll be easier when I see the new switch to give me an idea of how it fits.

Just done it - and yes, to save messing about it all came out

Air box off
Header Tank off
Header Rank mounting Bracket off
Wiper motor off, switched replaced and then all back on again.

Happy days.

And while I was in the mood I adjusted the clutch pedal too, realigned the exhaust system and fitted a new exhaust mounting.

Happy days.
