| Thanks Oggie.
Good to know. Will pick these up them for about 60 quid. Also getting some interior door seals and exterior trims. I expect these will be the same also. |

| yep thats right, i did this a few years ago and very easy swap out, just need to use series 3 wiper arms as i think they differ in size. | |

| Just want to double check with you guys.
I've got the opportunity of buying a complete wiper set (motor, linkage, arms etc) from a S3 1993 for a good price. I want to install this on my S2 1988 car (as mine are crap, half burned out motor etc). I was told this is possible and that they are smoother and quieter. Just wanted to confirm before I hand over my hard earned money. Cheers |

| IIRC it's fairly self-evident. Just unscrew the screws and disconnect the washer pipe. The five nipples under the bonnet are push-fit which need to be prised off with a some amount of care. | |

| Hi guys,
Having a look at the plastic cover I'm not sure how to remove it to access the linkage/motor. Has anyone got any photos or advice on the best way to remove the plastic cover? Thanks |

| Check the condition of the circuit(contacts at switch, relay, fuse and earth; wiring) before writing off the motor. | |

| Yes I think this will have to be done.
I'll check all the linkages/gear etc. Never done this before and don't know what to expect but I like a challenge. |

| Hi
Can also be worth stripping the motor and cleaning it up. Had to do this on my Sprint many years ago. All the best Keith |

I've heard that the motor from a Renault 19 will fit a 33 although i have never tried this. If you get stuck i have spare 33 wiper motors i can send you.  |

| A lot of the motors for windscreen wipers are very similar, i bet a trip down the scrap yard with your motor in hand should find a good comparison, although going for a newer motor would probably benefit the speed but check the voltage rating and be aware the wiring might not be up to the job. | |

|
| Hi,
Is it possible to change the wiper motor on my 33 (1988) for a motor from another car? Looking for a cheap replacement. Possibly from a Gol, fiesta, fiat, corsa etc. My wipers shorted out a while ago, they work now but they are much slower. I expect the impedance of the motor increased after they over heated and shorted. |
