Wipers don't wipe!

[Johnners]

Hi, all; got G15 CSK back from it's sill repairs, and just to prove it's got a sense of humour the wipers have packed in. They were increasingly 'clunky' as they swept over to the right hand A pillar and then they started to wipe intermittently (even when not on intermittent wipe!) and then gave up the ghost altogether.

Any diagnoses, anyone?

Cheers. John

This may sound silly, but check the wiper arms are not loose on their drive stubs. Mine had come loose and stopped working (the resistance of the wiper on the screen was more than that holding the arm onto the driver taper)

Alternatively, I've heard that there can be issues with the drive mechnanism under the decker panel falling apart.

Thanks Stu,

Paul at York LandRover Services (YLS) has investigated and replaced the wiper motor with a second hand spare. It was burnt out. Why this should have made it clunky I'm not sure, but hey ho; they work now so thanks to Paul (as ever) we're on the road again. I've been smoking round York with sunroof open, door windows down, and side windows slid right back!

Cheers, JD
