Almost the same spped on both settings? Any ideas?
Cheers Jud.

Like the three-position Lucas headlamp switch - dim, flicker and off.

Re: Slow wipers
Right, seriously now, I also have a G reg - the wipers are much smoother, and quicker across the screen. And John's E reg is ok too.
Now, is this due to improved relays and wiring, or bigger motors or less worn motors?
Not that I ma about to rip my A reg motors out and put g reg ones in....if it ain't broke don't fix it....would just like to know.

Re: Slow wipers
How do you go on in heavy rain then Em, do they clear the screen well enough?

Re: Slow wipers
Haven't had any problems yet...
In fact, in all the rain we have had, I haven't really used the "fast" setting in either bus.
The worst form of rain in the type that requires intermittant....Mark very kindly wired my A reg to add intermittant, which is wonderful!

Re: Slow wipers
I had an early air cooled and the wipers were faster than the vann, never dared to try second speed.
Current van is an 83 and they start slow but after a few sweeps they get up to speed, helps if the screen is wet, as the vans getting shelled out soon it will be attended to.
