ArtistsRifles Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Quick - and crazy - question folks!! Is a vehicle required to have a passenger side windscreen wiper for the MoT?? Long story short - the splined adapter on my Series 3 Landie started slipping the other day and the grub screw that locks it onto the wheel box shaft is rusted solid. I got a new adapater - but it is a later one with squared drive whereas my Landie has the early wheel boxes with round shafts so I need to get the new ones I have bored out to be a clearance fit on a 1/4" dia shaft. I went to tax it on-line tonight only to find the MoT ran out 2 days ago (I looked at the wrong Landrover MoT - it was the P38's I checked) so hence the question. If I do not need to have the passenger side wiper on and working I can get it MoT'd in the next day or so - if not I have to wait for some bored out adapters to arrive from a friend.

gareth dawe Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm an mot tester and if your landy has a folding screen then wipers and washers are not a failure item. And not even checked if the screen is down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Some early LR such as my 1961 civvy 109" did not have a passenger side wiper motor , still does not require one. However the later single motor for both blades , IIRC if originally fitted must be effective. btw Plastic Padding (type elastic) & Araldite can make some good & effective temp. repairs of all sorts LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
