It is a bit new isn’t it! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143906509385

I’ll go look. cheers!

Excellent! I have everything I need!

I’ll clean it all up and see. It’s a popular area for oil!

I'll have a look tomorrow. The garage is closed until the 6th now so i'll have to fix it.

When i put him in for an MOT a few weeks ago I asked the garage to change the oil and filter (i provided the filter). I do this just because it's a messy job and they have the ramp ot make it easier. I have developed a leak though. It's hard to say where exactly, but it could be the oil filter or the drain plug. It could also be a little leak from the head somewhere i've always had that's got worse. Looking at the drain plug where the oil drips from (see photo). Is that the correct plug? I'm wondering if it was lost and a modern one forced in.

I saw that. It’s out of my budget though. My one seems very happy as Pete did such a good job on it! I’d buy and stuck it in the basement if I had a spare £1k kicking around though. Looks perfect.

No. Maybe a full service on the wiper system is in order

Or take the windscreen out and wear a helmet?

Yeah. Exactly. I could use a light switch (nonmember suggested this too) but you’d also need a separate switch to turn the unit on and off. As far as I can tell.

The problem is when the unit is on it can only give you intermittent wipers at various intervals. The video shows it at the shortest interval. To get the wipers to run constant you need a 3 position switch: Off. Intermittent: through the unit. On. Straight to earth. you also need a switch to turn off power on/off to the unit or it will constantly be clicking away. Bit of a faff really.

Maybe it was too big? FullSizeRender.mov

I didn’t really until a friend sent me the Wiperdwell unit. It would be nice though as my wipers struggle to park when the rain is light and often end up right across the screen.

So i'd need a separate switch and 3 pos switch. Or i buy the other one. Or i just keep it as it is. Hmmmmmmm.

This is the unit at its fastest. That will never do. Nice of London to provide rain though. IMG_0247.MOV

I'm struggling to find the parts brochure now!

I tried to find the one in the club shop but it’s not there or hiding. What a faf. I’ll play with your suggestions and see if I can blow it up.

The tangents are the best bits!

Yes. I did

These are the complete instructions.

Blimey!

I've been messing about with the wiper do dah. I've plugged it all up on the bench using a bulb instead of the wiper motor. With the knob turned all the way down the bulb comes on every 2 seconds or so, all the way up and it's every 40 seconds. I was expecting it to be constantly on when it was all the way down to give constant wiping. Have i missed something? Am i making sense?

Chieftain Tank engine too. British Leyland.

Well it's arrived. I think i've got this. I'm going to follow connection diagram No.1 Sort of. Not 100% where the switch will go. Oh and I saw a picture of your old truck Pete.

That must have been me cutting the case open. That was done post giving up!
