Anyone recommend a wiper motor to change it with, And does anyone have any idiot guide's on fitting them.
I was out in the car tonight and it started to rain had to pull over untill the rain went off. :(

cheers

I think I'm right in saying that someone on here has fitted one from a Rover. Personally, I'd see if I could get another two position light switch to use in place of the single position original one.

Unfortunately, the HC switches are completely different. As far as I'm aware, all the HBs had short toggle switches on the front of dash panel between the steering wheel and door, bur the HC's had either big rocker switches in front of the speedo, or a seperate stalk, more like the newer cars do. Someone, please feel free to correct me.
