I had to replace my rotors and I thought I would never find a wrench to remove the nut. Then after that was fixed my service engine light came on. After that was fixed my tail pipe fell off. Then my blinker was messed up. Now my windshield wipers are acting crazy. They work fine on high and low, but on the intermittent they will go up, stick for a count of five and then go back down. I think I will leave them the way they are so nothing else happens. lol Seriously, any suggestions. Eventhough I complain, I would not trade my 95 Discovery for anything. Great vehicle.   Josh Bronson (Badassm0f0) New Member Username: Badassm0f0 Post Number: 4 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2003 - 06:58 pm:    man.. i have no clue about the wipers, but mine do the same thing... its really strange. if anyone has a fix id really appreciate it. im sure there are more people with the same problem. 97 Disco   Toddrover (Toddrover) Member Username: Toddrover Post Number: 117 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2003 - 11:44 pm:    '97 D1 - same issue w/ intermittent, also on mine they won't "park" ... These problems are notorious Lucas happenings. I believe the intermittent/park features are integral to the motor (AKA "potted motor") ergo the entire motor needs to be swapped out (approx $ 180 US I believe). One site recommends lubing the linkages but this didn't work for me so I live with it. Check this link if you want details - scroll down to "elec-tricks" ... (note that this vehicle ('Otto") is an '89 Disco though, maybe the motor is different)... http://www.sf.hiof.no/~frodehaa/disco.html   William L.

Someone mentioned a relay. I will research that and see. If I find anything I will let you guys know.

And it kept popping the fuse. I spray WD40 on the wiper motor and never had a problem since. Its very wierd.   Josh Bronson (Badassm0f0) New Member Username: Badassm0f0 Post Number: 6 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 02:04 pm:    are your wipers really loud too, i was just wondering because it seems like mine are really really loud. thnks
