Jimmmy0_0 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi AllMy wipers are not traveling though their full range, the play in the system seems to be in the wiper motor gearbox as the car is a mk1 pi its a two speed motor.My question is are the single speed and 2 speed gearboxes the same? (hoping I can swap the motor over)If their not does anyone know where I can get the one I have overhauled?Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nang Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Are you sure it's not the wheelbox's that the arms attach to? If you try to move the arms is there much freeplay..? If so they're probably worn.Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 some parts are available places like http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/its worth remove the wiper arms, stick a card needle on the spline at 12 oclock ,pull the cord rack out and note position of needle and turn 1 it 180 degrees, re fit rack check needle is now at 6 oclock so rack runs on unworn gear wheel in the wheel boxyou should also turn the rack cord over half turn or fit a new onemake sure all the tube clamps are tight and grip the tubes , you want no shift on these tubes .just some ideasPete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod 2500S Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Gday Jamesall advice above is good. If you have some tools and bits and pieces you may be able to shim some of the looseness out of the gearbox mechanism but otherwise buy a new one.CheersRod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmmy0_0 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks guys I will try what Pete says this weekend.Richard Brake came around and we checked a few things I am going to start with wheel boxes and work back just like you guys suggested.James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
