Getting a bit desperate now, I can not find anywhere to get my 98 Chim wiper motor re manufactured or a replacement. Can anybody give me some help in where to source this motor?

What's wrong with the wiper motor?

Lucas wiper motors are very easy to dismantle and repair

Wiper motor does not move the wiper blades , I changed the relay , cleaned the motor terminals so I believe that the motor needs some attention.

There's supply and earth to the motor and it doesn't turn?

You're in luck if the motor failed with the wiper blades in their park position

Motors often burn out If any of the wiper linkage assembly is tight and the wiper blades stop during their travel across the screen

Could be a very simple fix once you've got the motor on the bench

Below is a link to the upgraded motor as mentioned above

You've not tested if you have voltage at the motor?
