  Erm, something of a revival (was this really 5 years ago?!)  

  I still havent sorted it, but thinking of starting again on wiring in the 
thing again. There's that much wiring in the engine bay from a carb'd car, then 
EFi, then FRST that I think ignoring it might be a good option. 

  Right now, my headlamp flaps are down permanently, everything seems plugged 
in that should be, but I think the wiper motor itself is now caput.

  Which brings me onto the point - would anyone be able to tell me / show me 
the alleged modification to the wiper motor for the 2+2

  Thanks


  Andy

    Have you checked the grease on the little contact wheel inside the mech?

    After many years of working the grease can pick up small particles of metal 
which wears away from the contact wheel - it then has the lovely property of 
being conductive grease which then leaves the flaps doing exactly what you 
said.  Pop the disc out, wipe it over and pop it back in.

      OK, back to this one

      After a bit of testing I thought I had it sorted, until I went back out 
to the car a few hours later to find the headlamp flaps doing a little dance of 
their own. So this is happening without ignition power which I didnt think was 
supposed to happen

      Unplugged again for now until I have more time and a recharged battery
