Default wiper stuff for 401/3

Thanks for that Mike. For anyone in trouble ( or expecting it ! ) from their wiper gear, they could try ' The Electrical Parts Co. ' 01584 811575. Following a hairy 450 mile drive in the pouring rain back from the south of France about 4 years ago without w/screen wipers ( thank God for Rainex ! ), I bought a brand new N.O.S. wiper motor and drive unit from them.
They also had reconditioned units for sale and are v. knowledgeable.
BTW, the problem that I found with Rainex is that the water on the screens
only disperses really satisfactorally if the speed is above 60 or so m.p.h. This presents a dilemma on a wet autoroute with lorries throwing up a spray and lights from oncoming cars blinding you anyway. Safe slow speed but can't see out or a clear windscreen but going too fast for safety ? Anyone had a similar experience with Rainex ?
Dave Dale.
