RE: [doc] Electrics.... ignition!

When you say wiper unit, do you mean the black box thingy with a plug in and
out? If so just remove it and plug the two ends together, it means that you
have to pull the wiper down manually for "individual " wipes, but that's no
great loss, the other bits of the two speed wipers should continue to work
OK

Peeps,

Electics solved. Bad wiring and a misplaced plug.

But my wiper unit is now shot (melted, blown...). Anything UK I can use?

Cheers, (and thanks Martin!)

"substantially more miles on than recorded".. well there you go.. (the
speedo cable broke years ago!)
