R40MGF created a new topic ' Noisy wipers' in the forum. 16 hours ago

So, today I have been helping a neighbour that has recently purchased a mk2 F.

He took it for a m.o.t and it failed on a few things,  nothing major..the horn didn't work nor did the wipers, there a a few other jobs to do..rear track control arm and binding brakes (it's been stood for a while) other than that it's a really tidy car.

I managed to sort out the horn problem with a replacement clock spring and the wipers with a replacement (2nd hand) motor.

The neighbour commented that the now working  wipers were noisy and was this normal?

Our wipers are quite loud tbh and I had always thought that it was just another quirk but it got me wondering if everyone has noisy wipers?

I think that the idea behind the "super lock " facility was to prevent someone from reaching in and just pulling the locking button whilst the hood is down. 

Why should that disable being able to gain access via the use of the key?

No Mike, if its a problem with the super locking then this one is all yours. (Micro switches and all things electronic go way over my head)
I was just suggesting the easy options to try 1st.

The ❄️  button is is certainly air con and could be from a 200 or 25. It probably just needs a bit of fettling to get a better fitment.
