Grrrr. Stopped working, just when I finally get the wash fluid pumping
through the wiper goes flaky!

I hit the button on the dash and the wiper swings up across the screen but
wont come back. There is a whirring noise coming from the unit. If I get
out and push it (the wiper that is!) it will travel back to the rest
position.

My guess is something in the gear arrangement inside the unit is stripped,
broken or hopefully just come loose.

My beloved Bentley manual is silent on the rear wash wiper as far as I can
see. Anyone got any tips for removal and dismantling please?


I tried phoning a guy on ebay about this item:-

As it has a spare unit. But he wants £200!! I think I can manage without
if it comes to that!

Ah mate, bad news. Sorry I can't help, but I know Aeromotive will have a
nice covering plug if you want to remove it I'm going the other way ...
From no wiper to having one ... If I can find a mechanism at a reasonable
cost

Good luck with your search. Have you tried UK SAABs? There is certainly one
person having a parts clear out at the moment. You might get lucky. Drop a
wanted on and see how you go.

Actually, at that price I might have a more suitable alternative. On Canal
Road in Bradford (the A650 ... You know ... From Wakefield), past Khan's
Alloys (where the two Rolls Royce Phantoms are parked up ) on the left
just before the 4x4 Centre and Arnold Laver warehouse, there's a back street
garage that does tyres and another that does stainless exhausts. One or the
other of them is selling a J reg 900i in green (five door) no bodykit, but
it has a rear wiper. They want 395 quid for it.

Remove the mechanism and re-sell the car It's a good'un with very nice,
well kept velour interior. Nothing at all special about the car, but it is a
good runner. I had a look over it for a friend.
