Head Light Wiper Motor siezed

It would appear my nearside headlight wiper is suck solid halfway across the light and refuses to budge in any direction Big Cry

Does anyone know of a quick fix?

Nothing to do with the motor...

This happens when the wiper freezes to the headlight. The motor then "times out" because it realises it cant move. Then on the next wipe it stops half way.

To resolve you need to:

Turn car off.
Pull fuse 28 In the glove box below the cd player.
Leave out for a couple mins.
Put back in and turn car back on.

I put them there when there was no content, now they are there to remind me what topics initially popped into my head.

Now I'm thinking of breaking the page down into Pre-Facelift and Post-Facelift articles, what do you think? (luv-in)

Personally I do not think that a breakdown pre-post is relevant just yet but maybe in the future. I believe its more important to get the information loaded on all those important subjects most of which may effect all L322 Range Rovers.

What a coincedence!
I drove through water last night (Temp was -12c!) and the water froze all over the front of the car, with the wiper stuck half way...
I look on here, and find the solution! Cheers Thumbs Up
