Wiper Motor

[Steve_D]

Calling Adrian.
Is there any solution for a lazy wiper motor?
I've stripped mine, cleaned everything, greased or oiled where required. Removed and greased the rack. But still the wipers stall on anything less that a wringing wet screen. Same/slightly better with the engine running so not low volts.

Help

Have you tried connecting battery volts direct to the motor? I replaced the wiring with heavier cable and it cured my problem.

I bought the Tvr parts upgraded motor as i wanted to do minimal faffing, expensive but is literally night and day different and probably the best upgrade i did to the car.

I considered the upgraded motor on my last Chimaera, but it and my current TVR are rarely used in the rain. If it's the MoT that is concerning you, I find a good coat of rain.x a day or so before helps considerably.

Steve, I'm on [e-mail], ...the 'NON' motor upgrade (yoke/armature/brush) which by moving the 1st speed brushes so that there is near as no difference between the 1st and 2nd speed is always going to be 'feel' quicker. I still offer replacing the gear for free on the upgrades where they sheer the teeth because of the upgrade torque start-up speed, or when they are built to run in reverse by the fitters. The upgrade does not deal with any issue with any part of the gearbox/rack/park switch. A@
