Re: Wipers only work on Fast ???
If the wipers work any time but don't park correctly, then it is 100% certain that the contacts in the motor are faulty. When the motor spindle wears, water enters the motor which lies right under the edge of the windscreen. Hope that helps.

Towing eye warning
I have always felt relieved to know of the towing eyes reclining in the boot, ready for use, no scrabbling under the car for a safe attachment point, until I carelessly got myself stuck in a good foot of powder snow last week. A welcome offer to pull me out by a large machine on very big tyres, and ...

Re: Replacing a rear hub assembly
Just to press the point, a glance behind the gear lever to check for the switch with 2WD, Auto (4WD) and diff lock clears the issue. Hope the hub change goes well.

Re: Wipers only work on Fast ???
The fact the wipers don't park correctly seems to point to the motor with its contacts and parking switch. The only difficulty is getting wiper arms off. I recommend a puller with two arms (ebay?) rather than one with a screw and fork. Wiper arms 1/3 of way up screen. Genuine (Valeo) on ebay for 50 ...

Re: Tail light of the passengers side not working
Lead a wire under the boot from the working tail light to the non working? Had to do that once myself on a Vitara. It worked.

Re: New here and need help please
Some QQs nead the the ecu programmed to match the new battery, to prevent overcharging and shorter life. My J10 from 2013 does at least. Perhaps best to check that first. Charger while swopping is a good idea.
