Thread: Lucas Wiper Motor Repair/Restore?

The requirement for major surgery is not usual.

These are the standard wiper motor for Series Landrovers up 1967, although there are a few variations (rivet counters may note which one is the right one, but they are all interchangeable). You may find a non-original new one of Asian origin a bit cheaper, or a good second hand one. However, while there are probably places that will repair it, if it needs more than a clean/ repack with grease and new brushes, it will almost certainly cost more than the $300 quoted for a new one.

there is a particular guy on ebay that sells restored ones for about 90 pound

i will try and get his info

there are many others on there doing similar but not as good as this guy normally does. you need to be very careful as some have mild steel shafts that rust in a day..

you can send yours over and he will rebuild them as well from memory

i got one from him and it is excellent...

I have had it apart but cannot get it going without major surgery. Does anyone know of somewhere in Australia that repairs/reconditions/exchanges these motors?

If not, looks like I may have to pay ~$300 for a new one from the UK, unless anyone has any other options?

Thanks,

Have you tried Kev. Baker at KB Classic Parts? Kev. is THE Lucas man and can be found a 2 Margaret St. Witta 4221 (near Maleny), 07 5494 4221.

The other option is to visit a boat chandlers (or look online). Similar motors are used on boat windscreen wipers.
Problem is that boat parts probably won't be cheap either....
