Wipers and Cracked Windscreen

 While the van was in the garage for its MOT, Ian, the mechanic, said that he had seen the same intermittent behaviour from the wipers.  I was glad. So often intermittent faults "go away" when the vehicle is in to get repaired, and come back again when it comes out.

So a new motor and washer were fitted.

I went to pick up the van at the garage but Ian explained apologetically that he had managed to crack my windscreen. It was a crack about a foot long.  He immediately said that he would pay the excess for the insurance repair.

I informed my insurance company who told me to book it in with Autoglass. Four days later, they came to the garage and replaced it.

Wipers and washers now working fine.  I have removed the fuse from the solar controller so the batteries will get a boost every time the sun shines - not often this time of the year.
