Hello all. The front wipers started to not work so I have got by with out using them. Then on a rough road they started to work but back now to not working. I have power to the switch but can hear a relay up behind the dash making noise when I move a lever. Can anyone tell me which relay is the wiper relay. I have 3 cars t pick a spare from but the Disco repair manual don't say where it is and it's a nightmare to trace wire up in there.
Very Much appreciated for any guidance/pictures.

I cannot find a wiper relay in the footwell area but can hear a clicking up near the wiper motor area.
I have tried to undo the wiper motor and arm cover screws but 3 of the 5 just turn around. Like WTF do the Poms do at work, they have not even welded them. Now I will have to drill out those 3 then weld the nuts in place. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Add this to your library. This is for '95 models, but should help.

front wiper relay is behind drivers foot well side panel, or in some cases behind passenger side panel in foot well. depends RHD or LHD.
a coin should be enough to remove the panel.

Thanks to all. The Beast is back on the road.
After all the electrics checked out it ended up being the wiper motor.
Now replaced and working again.
Cheers.
