Hi Guys
I recently bought a very tasty 2000 reg 2.0 Z3.
Seems to be a well looked after example and all seems to be right with the car.
I only bought it 2 weeks ago so haven't had much opportunity to drive it yet. I took it out for a spin yesterday and noticed that the wipers had decided to stop working completely.
They were working fine up to that point, all speeds working, washer working, parking correctly, no funny noises etc. Therefore i seriously doubt its the motor as I would have had some sort of warning that things weren't 100%. Also if it was the wiper control module I believe I would have have had previous issues with incorrect parking of the wipers? (I could be wrong here but from looking around the web that seems to be the case). The washer pump is working which leads me to think its not the actual wiper switch in the car.
I have checked the fuses and all is well there, so I am thinking perhaps its a bad earth somewhere?? But i have no idea where to look or even if that is the problem.
Anyone out there have a similar problem and could advise me of a few other things to check?
Any assistance at all would be gratefully received as I would like to avoid a trip to the "Bring My Wallet" dealer.
