Windscreen wipers!

Ha ha! That's a E-Type with a fishy history!

Maybe that should be an E-Type with a rubbish history.

The wiper rack is the same for both LHD and RHD, it is the motor that is different. It is relatively easy to reconfigure the motor from LHD to RHD and there are comprehensive instructions in our Knowledge Base. You will need to buy two RHD wiper arms as well. Looks like a nice car although the power steering is not that desirable and does not attract a premium unless you have a specific physical difficulty. There are modifications to make it less sensitive - ask the S3 owners - or de-activate it which would make the car much nicer to drive. I would also get rid of those funky yellow HT leads and fit the standard black leads and cable organiser.

Hi David - perhaps you can help me too. I have a S2 2+2 which i restored some time ago. The wipers have always been an irritation and i'm just about to rebuild the drive mechanism as you suggest. SNG habe a (kind of) kit with a new switch and gears (and no instructions) - but i wouldn't mind a look at the 'knowledge base' too before i start. I am a new member and have no idea where the 'knowledge base' is - can you help me please................Best wishes

Hi Ian,

Re the Knowledge Base, I think what you are after is at the top of the Forum's index page. See http://etypeuk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=700 particularly near the foot of the page.

Cheers,
Jim

You need to look at the LHD/RHD conversion guides (try part 4) which has instructions to sort out the wiper.
