I've got my wiper motor in pieces at the moment (heard a rumour that it's off a Morris Marina and TVR want about £160 plus VAT for a replacement!).

I've got a damaged brush, rusted spring and electrical cable come off.

Does anyone know if I can get the circiut board with the brushes on? - I think it's a Lucas part.

Not sUre what the wiper motor is off but best bet is to take it to one of those new brakers yards and give them the old unit to see if they can match it, most lucas internals are usualy the same (dont quote me on this) tell them its for a kit Car and the price will be lower than if you tell them its off a TVr

Be careful if you get a second hand motor from a scrapyard it might look as though it'd just bolt straight on but the motor was very widely used on a lot of cars during the 70's -80's. You will proabably have to swap the internal drive wheels over to ensure you get the correct sweep of the blades.

I chased down this company off the internet J & L Spares 01706 644210 Mike Carlisle is the wiper man, they can recondition a wiper motor for £75.00 +VAT (which includes delivery).

I managed to get a Brush Plate for £25.00 +VAT which should do the job!!
