Well, a big round of applause for all those who can remove their dash in 15 minutes, I’ve just taken 1/2 a day to get mine out so that I can properly assess what’s Censored on the wiper side of things.
Next job, sort the wipers; I’m looking at new wheel boxes to start with as mine are “notchy” to say the least. Now stripping the the motor, drive, wheel boxes mechanisms.
At this rate, she’ll be up and running again some time just before we go back to BST
Really looking forward to refitting the dash Big Cry .................. 2015 90 Hard Top

And another thing, reading all the horror stories on here about sourcing sub standard parts, where should I go to buy genuine LR parts for the wipers system? 2015 90 Hard Top

Ian,

Did you get the dash out in 15mins? My wiper motor has started to click. Not all the time but once running in consistent rain for 20 mins it begins .... my experience is that'll be the motor on its way. 1951 80" S1 2.0

Ah mine also has an intermittent click (or clack). Usually worse when its only light rain, I presume because there's a little more resistance on the wiper.

When you say motor is on the way out, do you mean similar to yours with the worn circlip or should I be ordering a new mechanism before I take the dash out?

No dramas regarding the dash,
Are you sure it’s the motor making the noise, or slack in the wheel boxes?
Clack clack clack..... Rolling Eyes

I guess wiper issues will be quite a thing on here what with all the rain we're getting! Big Cry 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"
