    Series 3 Flick wipe

    No surprises inside the switch, it looks like the contacts just weren't really making with the board, so bent them a bit and cleaned it up! A bit strange that the same thing had happened to both though!! Not actually tried it on the wipers yet, too cold and dark out there!

    Series 3 Flick wipe

    You should have 12V on the Green/Brown wire when the switch is off but the wipers haven't parked. If you haven't it's an issue at the wiper motor end. If you have then it's the switch! I'll let you know what it's like inside! I think the live Green that feeds the switch is paired up with...

    Thanks all. I took it out at lunchtime - the indicators and brake lights stopped working! And the wipers only work if I help them across the screen - a low voltage is to blame I think! And the blower doesn't work! I might take the bottom half of the dash off so I can get a better look at the...

    Hello!

    Morning, I've recently replaced a 2003 TD5 Disco with a 1972 Series 3 88 soft top, diesel! No stranger to series Land Rovers, previously owned a 1973 petrol and a 1950 80" when I was 16 - sold it for £350!! Also have owned 2 90s. This one seems to be reasonably up together, apart from some...
