Sorry to but into this terrible problem but I thought you said earlier that the relay was checked and was found serviceable, are there 2 relays in this circuit????

Just to finish this link. It takes six foolscap pages to relate the story and two letters of complaint to the Chief Executive of Lookers Land Rover, Colchester, and over eight days which they had my car, for them to finally identify a faulty relay which costs £5. For which they initially wanted to charge £508-37p -which I refused to pay and after consultation with "management" it was reduced to £256-00p. I cannot put into words what my opinion of LOOKERS is - there are no words which adequately describe the incompetence, indifference and just downright bad service provided by this garage. However the wipers now work and I'm off to France in a few days to try to forget the whole incident

MGWanderer - Sorry to have missed replying - only just looked back at my posts and found this. The answer to your question "does it have two relays?" is: not to my knowledge. The initial inspection of the relay was made by the Greenflag chappie, who in fairness did not have anything to actually check it. However, the useless incompetant "mechanics" at Lookers decided it wasn't that and went down the road of trying everything else - even with their "state of the art" equipment they couldn't identify the problem until eight days later, when I guess they went back to square one! The actual log of events and recorded phone conversations with Lookers is a classic lesson in how NOT to treat a customer. I will willingly make available to anyone who is so bored with life that they want to read it. But take it from me, Lookers of Colchester is NOT the place to take your car if you want any sort of competant, reliable service.
