Ok had the f2 a couple of weeks and slowly getting to know the car .Im planning to do the oil change at the weekend and the 2 stroke oil bit,wife informs me the rear wiper isn't working but the washer is ,any ideas guys ? is this a common fault? advice welcome.

ok the search came up with some info will try this first.

Suggest if the Rear Wiper is not working, pull the fuse out until you get to check it over.

thats my nights sleep ruined,best get dressed and get out there.....cheers for the info

and pulled.........

I looked at the idea of stripping the motor and trying to mend it, but a straight swap was easier. Dead easy.

You would have been ok with it parked with the ignition off, the Wiper supply is only live when the ignition is on

Don't think parking with the ignition off will fix it. If the rear wiper isn't in the parked position it will try and return it to the parked position with the ignition off, my dad found this when his wiper went funny as it was draining the battery overnight, no fires luckily!

My rear wiper assembly seized due to water penetration... I think there was a leak from the washer hose...

Anyway, I just swapped it over with new/nearly new bought off of eBay

R 07 Fl2 GS
88 Galv chassis Landy 110 double cab

ok motor stripped and re greased,checked signal to motor and that is present.I think my problem is when i have stripped the motor there is continuity through the rotor and brushes/brush gear, the only bit that it stops at is a small grey plastic block ,is this a capacitor or a thermal overload ?if i could get flow through this i would have a circuit and the the motor would work,any ideas guys

Only part that is different is the length of the shaft to the wiper arm. Take off the yellow wheel and undo the two housing screws. This allows the housing and armature to be removed. There are two contacts, these will separate as they are a push fit only. Just swap the housing and armature

Stick with it, my motor still working and it is getting a lot of work!!

cheers for that,will have a go when replacement arrives
