Just resurecting my spitfire after a 2 year rebuild, only to find that
the wiper motor is dead...
Its not the switch or wiring as the motor doesn't even turn when connect
to the batter with out the wipers
connected...
I have looked into getting a new (recon) one and there is a longish
delay due to the reconditioning firm going
bust...
What can go wrong with these things ?
Is it just a case of cleaning the inwards a and fitting new brushes?
can you buy new brushes...???
thanks for any help....
Tim
PS having just driven it for the first time in two years I'm itching to
get out in the car and its raining!
