Re: Slow (front) wipers ... who’s the culprit

They seem ok at the moment.
There was a fault that I cleared about wiper park position.
Tightening up and can’t get to park position or sensor fault forcing the wipers into limp mode??

Great call thank you.

Re: Wheel nuts

The seller is adamant they’re genuine LR but has offered me a refund if I return them.
They seem reasonable quality so I think I’ll risk it.

Re: Wheel nuts

What should they have to show they’re LR?
I’ll report it to eBay.

Re: Wheel nuts

Thanks again folks.
I got some from eBay claiming to be genuine Land Rover (with a price to match) but I’m not convinced.
What do we think?

Slow (front) wipers ... who’s the culprit

My front wipers seem to be struggling.
Any bets on motor vs linkage?
What are they like to get to?

Any particular reason?

Re: Wheel nuts

Thanks gents.
Am I missing something? Why can’t you buy kits with 16 normal and 4 locking nuts? Why would I want 20 in a set?
