Hi all
My head light wipers have gone a bit crazy !
Noticed the right hand one stuck in the up position , then the left one stopped
operating completly. Had a little play with them , now the left hand one tried to
push my bumper to the ground causing a little "nik" in the plastic
I have got the left one back to its normal rest position , but the right is still stuck
pointing to the moon and will not move!
Can any body direct me to a fix , before I bust them with my fat fingers
Thanks guys

Have had a similar problem with the one on my o/s headlamp, works fine but sits in differnt position when ignition is turned off, more concerned about some little begger yanking it off when it sits vertical hanging over the bonnet. Is there a cure?

one of the one's on my 850 broke & wouldn't move, i took the wiper & motor assembly out & the plastic casing holding the mechanism together had split so none of the cogs were in contact anymore (can you still hear the motor trying?). I decided to bin the wipers & blank off the holes but its not as easy to do on the V70 but you could try Salvo for a replacement

Chances are the motor is buggered. Remove the wiper arm and refit it onto the splines in the correct position, so at least it look ok. disconnect the wiring connector so they dont operate until you get them fixed.
