Hi.
The back wiper arm is seized up soild. washers still work. Am i looking at getting a new motor ? Would this come under warranty. Any advise ?
Cheers

Hi Bev,
I'm no expert on this, have you ascertained if any power is actually getting to the wiper motor?
...Or for that matter if it's earthed properly..??

Bev, the fact you say "is it covered by warranty" probably means you have recently bought it from a dealer, if thats the case I assume it came with an MOT and the fact that the wiper is seized solid (if thats the case) it should of failed, I would have thought. I would go straight back and point out the error of his ways and tell him to kindly sort it or you may have to take things further

Thanks guys.
Bumped into dealer at the Northern motorhome show at the wkend and have arranged to have it fixed under the warranty along with the small oil leak.
Cheers.

I was so happy when i bumped into him. It didnt seem to be any trouble, just a....... yep bring it in and we can get that sorted. I had fallen out with the bongo having being messed about with the bodykit, then the wheels...ggrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!. Bodykit didnt fit, bodyshop NOT happy so had to pull it out of the garage and wait for a replacement. Which is now laid on my garage floor. The wheels didnt have the proper nuts with them but didnt know this until all wheels off the van. Garage NOT happy as they had to take me to get proper ones eekkk!!.The supplier was so apologetic but thats not the point. 2 tyres had had repairs to the inside walls, so new tyres needed. GRRRR!!!!... I thought buying only wheels would save some pennys. But i did enjoy my wkend away and im now friends with the Bongo again. (not its fault really)

Highly illegal - whoever passed that MOT should be reported to Trading Standards
