    S2 wiper motor

    The missing nylon cap has been replaced with some snug fitting tubing, which seems to be doing the job. The point I was making, with the motor running backwards so to speak, it would make no difference if the cap was there or not, the arm as it rotates back to front hits the intermittent rod...

    S2 wiper motor

    There was a plastic end piece at one point, long gone now, however, even if it was attached, the part that pushes the rod in comes up and hits the rod in the middle running back to front, so the end piece would make no difference. When it runs the correct way, the large flat on the rod comes...

    Not much really! Bodywise is pretty much spot on, just a few mechanical (leaking side plate for one) bits to sort, and maybe one day get the red leather sorted and repaired/replaced. It's currently sporting black cloth from the spares car I got to go with it.

    Greetings all, I've had my P6, a 2000 SC of 72 vintage a few months now, but not actually posted yet. So, here we go, in case it's not obvious, name is Rob, from deepest Dorzzzzzzzet, and this is my car, affectionately known as Thug for obvious reasons. Just had fun fixing rear brakes and DeDion...
