Yep. All as taken apart and put back together. Earth ring over mounting screw.

Right, flashers work and relay ticks when they go in and off. So that one can’t be faulty or be the wipers.

Sorry. Wrong place!

Having googled this relay it seems it is a flasher unit and not wipers. That’s confused me further!

I have looked at my relays 3 in total behind the fuse box. I have found the following relay diagram and it appears that the single one in its own (no 9) is the wipers https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-body-electrics/relays/relays-to-%28v%29-la939975_52886#9 Mine are...

Scrub that. Found my relays behind fuses. Will investigate further.

Thanks. Looks helpful. May need to learn a bit more about how to use multi meter. although a relay was the problem for that guy, not sure on my 1987 I have one. Have checked the relays behind instruments and they aren’t connected to the wiper system.

I thought I would tackle the front wiper system last weekend. It was very squeaky when engaged but one day the wipers/motor just stopped. I purchased a new wiper arms, gears and motor and new cable. Although fiddly, fitting wasn’t the issue. The issue has come when I plugged the connector in...

Fitted a new wiper motor, wipers and gears. Still don’t work! Fuse is blown though so will change tomorrow. Although didn’t realise fuse values were so involved until I looked them up on the forum. 12a fuse (which I think is hard to find now) for wipers apparently on fuse diagram so 10a...

New cable remote pliers arrived. Got the clamp off in 2 minutes! Well worth the 12£. Just waiting for delivery of new hose and I can put back together.

Thanks. I may end up doing that. Just access is very limited as it goes right up against the outlet for the one above (think oil cooler). didn’t waste any space that’s for sure.

Well a weekend of highs and lows. I managed to change the thermostat but it took some doing, the combination of old clips, stubborn hoses and limited access (they obviously didn’t think it would go wrong!;)). My knuckles bear the grazed knuckles so many of you spoke of. Luckily my landrover...

Thank you! I can’t wait to get thermostat sorted then I can hopefully relax a bit and drive. when I did it at home on WiFi (no idea if this helped at all) I noticed after pasting the image that a menu box had appeared below image (it took a while and was not there on previous attempts) which...

I saw a link to a post which said that some members are being restricted on posting photos. Perhaps that’s it, I’m just unlucky.

I’m out I am afraid!

I will try another way. It can’t be this hard!
