Have just bought a 1987 Hymer 534, but the windscreen wipers move incredibly slowly. Think it might need a new motor. Any ideas where I can get one?

Cheers, Will

Hi Will

I know nothing about Hymer wipers but maybe a bit of lubrication and/or adjustment may help. OK ..you have tried that Laughing

...back to the drawing board.

Really I just posted this to keep your question in view on the front page for a bit longer Laughing

Lets hope some of our Hymerists can sort you out.

I would have thought that wiper motor will work or not work - being slow may be a sign that [1] motor needs attention [2] mechanical parts need lubricating, I'd try before buying replacement.

More likley than not it will be the wiper wheel boxs siezing(the bit were the wiper arm fits)Remove wipers and linkages lubricate and turn by hand to check, if lubrication fails and asembly remains stiff ,renewall is your only option
