Has anybody had problens with there wipers set to the auto setting, my fr2 is 3 years old and today the wipers stopped completely and I had to turn off the engine and restart it, everything seemed to be fine.
I went out in the car later on that day and the wipers were playing up again, I dont know what to bo next as it has only happened twice.

Any advice welcome Freelander 2 SD4 hse Lux Loire Blue, side steps and roof rails fitted

I take it you tried them manually?

Are they returning to the bottom like normal or jamming up on the screen, not to cause undue worry but a members rear wiper played up and he got a call saying his car was on fire

it maybe best to get them checked asap at a dealer or independant Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

They are never going to be as good as 'you' being in control...I've just got a new German car and they are just as bad.....so you need to click the timer to wake them up !

You could try resetting everything by disconnecting the battery for ten minutes.

Sadly a Ford Focus uses the same if not very similar system and we have just reset that system by disconnecting the battery as the wipers and automatic lights were playing up and also the Bluetooth and looking on here a few others had similar problems and a battery disconnect solved the problem we only tried it on the Focus because of what has been posted on here and it worked. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Make sure you do leave it a good ten minutes before reconnecting the battery as a sudden surge can trigger off the airbags - considering there all over the car ur likely to have a proper mess on ur hands !!  2008 Td4 Freelander2 GS - santorini black.

Hi Thanks for the info, does disconnectiong the battery not activate the alarm and do you have to put the code into the radio. Freelander 2 SD4 hse Lux Loire Blue, side steps and roof rails fitted

Just a code for the radio, the alarm should not go off as you would not be doing it with the alarm activated your freely should be unlocked.  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

What if he spends 3 hours looking for the code only to find he doesn't need one

It's better than disconnecting the battery then finding he needs a code  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Back to the original question - My wipers also stop occaisionally - once or twice a year, doesn't matter what setting they are on, will just stop anywhere on the screen, if you want a fix, just drive onto the forecourt of your nearest dealership, heypresto they work again

Can't be bothered to chase dealer about a fix unless they get worse, car's going back later in the year. 1998 Feelander XDI Hardback - Gone

I had a simple screen error on the dash once. The dealership disconnected the battery and reconnected. No need for the radio key, but the windows were back to how the car was delivered, no auto up function. Which was just a window reset once more like when I first got the car. 2010 Freelander 2 Select TD4 auto....gone
