United States 2008 Range Rover HSE 4.4 V8 Bonatti Grey
Front Wipers not stopping at rest position

Hi there,

I have a question for the RR braintrust. My 2008 HSE is having wiper problems - the wipers tend to go past the rest position (back up) about 2 inches about 7/10 times.

I have two questions

1) Can I do anything about it? ( switch electrics, mechanical issue)

2) If not - can I replace the wiper motor without taking apart the whole wiper system (powerful UK has a video that stops at replacing the motor but its a good hour long job to get there.

Thanks! 2008 HSE B. Grey

Just a thought but the mk1 Focus used to have a similar issue and the fault was with the wiper relay.
Not sure if l322 is the same but try swapping the front and rear wiper relays over.

I had similar, but worse. Had to change wiper motor. Can do it without changing all the linkages......but......you can only buy the motor with the linkage. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8
