I believe there is a later seal available for this. |

I tried this swapping a Fiesta wiper motor in Sept 2014 - different mounting chassis and different brush set-up inside the motor and back of big yellow gearwheel. Unable to swap the motor either as the Fiesta one was crimped onto the chassis (Freelander 2 one screwed on).

He also suggested that 27.5 to 29.0 mpg was about right for FL2 diesel consumption PAAAAH CHICKEN FEED M,boy see this with cruise control on as well ...!!! Best effort yet .... picture taken by a mate from N Z over for a hol 99.9 mpg not 6.66 ! Wales Were the mud is thicker, and the ruts are deeper. (And we have the water to wash it off, and more on the way..! ) Sd4 and chrome Ar*e piece, Auto box for best fun 09 Xs Gone 12 xs Gone HSE with Leather seats and 4 years warrenty.. staying for now ! |

The rear wiper motor for the FL2 is made by Valeo.

Make sure you have a very small torq's bit in your toolkit for removing the cover plate, tis quite small.

Well I got round to fixing it, stripped it down and the amount of rust is unbelievable! So I cleaned it all up and Re greased it and I still didn't work. I ended up going to 3 scrap yards in Bolton and not one had a freelander in so I ended up get one from a fiesta mk6. Swapped the motors over thinking it was that, tried it and no. Swapped the yellow cog thinking it my be the contacts on the bottom of it and no still didn't work. There was only one more thing I could change and that was the housing that holds the bushes and magic it works.

Update, stripped, cleaned, oiled and working....however, its noisy, is this normal? the shaft was very stiff towards the wiper end, cleaned it down and wd40.

Thanks Freel2 members. You just saved me some cash. Just cleaned and re-greased my rear wiper motor and the wiper is working perfectly again. |
