Can somebody point me in the right direction, Ive a TD5 on an 03 plate, the wipers seem to have a mind of their own, when I first use them the intermittent does not work, nor the first setting, or second, push the stalk down and that works, intermittent then works, first setting will work, but also the rear windscreen wiper starts, the second doesn't work, then later they are back to normal:confused: oh and now the cd player has decided that the cartridge is not in it, I know it is because I put it there, but it wont give it up,and I want my cd's back.:mad:
I have it booked in at a local garage, which specialise in Landrovers, but ant ideas would be appreciated

sounds like the wiper stalk is faulty,not dear on ebay.just replaced the front wiper motor and linkage on my D2,give us a call if you need any advice on how to do it,save you a lot of grief.lol:D
 
thanks for that,I was hoping it would be that simple, but the rear wiper put the spanner in the works, plus the CD player f*cking up at the same time, alarm bells started to ring:( Ive only had her for a couple of months,and they have had to sort out a leaky sunroof ( first thing I asked them,were the sunroofs dry, yes they said, no sign of staining I believed them), now an aircon leak, add to that the wipers and CD, good job I took out the extended warranty me thinks

ok,i believe water can get into the bcu behind the dash/glovebox area,this can cause all sorts of electrical issue's.just changed the rear wiper motor as well.getting bloody expensive this D2 of mine.:(
 
I know what you mean, I just scraped my 300 TDI it was on a 97 plate, had replace the power steering pump, water pump, new back pipe, electric windows didn't work the sunroofs leaked so badly that the people in the back got soaked, the new one is very clean, but then it needed to be to 6k,dealer wouldn't drop a penny
