Erm, something of a revival (was this really 5 years ago?!) I still havent sorted it, but thinking of starting again on wiring in the thing again. There's that much wiring in the engine bay from a carb'd car, then EFi, then FRST that I think ignoring it might be a good option.
Right now, my headlamp flaps are down permanently, everything seems plugged in that should be, but I think the wiper motor itself is now caput. Which brings me onto the point - would anyone be able to tell me / show me the alleged modification to the wiper motor for the 2+2 Thanks Andy On Monday, 15 December 2008 21:43:52 UTC, Matthew Wastell wrote: > > Have you checked the grease on the little contact wheel inside the mech? > > After many years of working the grease can pick up small particles of > metal which wears away from the contact wheel - it then has the lovely > property of being conductive grease which then leaves the flaps doing > exactly what you said.
