Hi all,

I have a faulty wiper motor unit, can anyone recommend a dealer that supplies new/refurbed Rover parts?

The intermittent wipe does not work full cycle (wiper sticks half way), occasionally , like now , something inside the wiper motor mechanism shorts out and takes out the fuse. It then usually takes a strip down of the unit, spray of lubricant, it then seems to clear itself of the short.

I had the same problem with my 214si and had to change the motor itself. I was quoted nearly £200 from rover dealer to supply and fit. Went to local scrappy, picked one up for a fiver and 4 bolts and 10 minutes later it was cured.

If you've got 5 mins to spare it's worth checking Ebay.
