Hey guys, I have a 51 plate 1.8 Freelander and it has no rear wiper. The surface where it should be is totally flat like it never existed. Were some Freelanders made without the rear windscreen wiper? Or was mine removed before I bought it.

Thanks

Hi,

Never heard of this before. :confused:

Nothing? Not even a rubber plug or two?

Someone might be along soon who knows more than me - that shouldn't be difficult. :rolleyes:

Singvogel. :cool:
 
Afaik they all had them fitted from new.

Are there two switches on the right side of your speedo binnicle?

yeh the rear wiper switches are still there but they don't do anything. Where the wiper's supposed to be is just sealed over. That's why I haven't noticed because it looks really professional. I think maybe it was covered over rather than replacing a faulty wiper, but there's nothing in the service history about it.
Weird stuff. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

So it did have one and all the wiring should be there up to the rear door.:scratching_chin:

Like you say it was probably a duff motor, so rather than replacing it they removed it.

EDIT: In fact, i've just realised that the wiper arm comes out through the back of the spare wheel carrier, not through the door where you can see it.

It could be that the motor is there but they've removed or snapped the arm!
