Wipers

[greenisbest]

I think my wiper motor is on it's way out-makes it to about half way then stops! Does anyone know how much they are and is there a good online place to order spares. Are they easy to fit?

Sounds like the park switch is gone, this is common. Had it go on a previous one and the current one. Get it sorted for around 70 all inclusive.

Snap! (mine was the other thread linked below).

I have yet to get it sorted but the problem deteriorated last week such that I have now completely lost the first two settings (intermittent and normal) and only the third (fast wipe) setting works. Presumably that will soon give up the ghost too.

I'd advise getting it fixed before you get caught out completely (he says, not having done so himself yet).

By the way, forgot to mention warranty does cover this one!

Its worth keeping the windscreen / door windows covered in a layer of rain-x, it will get you home if your wipers fail in the rain. Or at least keep some in the boot.

You can buy it in Halfords.
