Wiper motor failed but can I fix the wipers on my daily driven classic Jaguar? Let's find out! After replacing the engine I noticed that the wipers had stopped working on my Jaguar XJ6. Doesn't seem to be a simple fix like a fuse but something more complicated. Let's see if i can fix the wipers!

Good you're dreaming about a new storage garage. Lifts would let you do so much more with the space. Maybe a sponsor of lifts could be found. I see other RU-vidrs getting lift companies donate their products for the exposure.

@rossilake218 2 года назад

Adam, I need a lift, at 60 yrs young it’s not fun laying on my back working on Jag’s. I don’t have the room here. Next Property. Maybe you have a big barn where you would have sufficient height/room for one. Store the cars where your at, work in the heated barn? Your like I was 25 years ago. Keep up the energy!

Unless it is badly score I use Autosol Metal Polish on the commutator. It's also time you bought some 'softjaws' for ALL of your vices :). Is grease expensive in Sweden ?, you seem so mean with it :)

@chickenNoodleSuper 2 года назад

And some proper spanners! Shifters are not great tools

A tip from Edd China's channel for cleaning copper contacts: pour vinegar into a pile of salt, and dip the contacts in the resulting fluid. (Which high-school chemistry suggests is a mild hydrochloric acid.) If you're going to upgrade your storage building, ensure you have a way to maintain an airflow. Staitonary humidity is the enemy of stored vehicles. It breeds metal-moth.

@LivingWithAClassic 2 года назад

Thanks, that’s a great tip!

@gunnarMyTube 2 года назад

Imperial stuff - doing all this reflects perfect classic Jaguar attitude. You see how Adam took apart and reassembled the motor just using common sense. And it all worked out with no panic or distress. Just need som uninterrupted time.

Hi Adam On my vice i got 4 pieces of scrap plywood the width of the jaws and made them into 90 degree L shapes with a couple of screws at the butt joints. The top part of the L rests on to the top of the vice jaws and the other part of the "L" hangs down between the vice jaws .Obviously you dont have scratching problems with metal to metal because of the wood cushioning. You could also use 4 bits of wood blocks say? 6cm x 3cm and as wide as the vice jaws. Excellent channel by the way! craig from Australia (1969 E type roadster)

@LivingWithAClassic 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip! I’ll make something like that out of some scraps of wood

@colinellicott9737 2 года назад

Amazing how a bit of cleaning and friction reduction can solve stuck wipers. Thx

@LivingWithAClassic 2 года назад

@genemccormick3935 2 года назад

Good job Adam. I replaced the motor (should have repaired it) and stupid me removed dash when not needed.

@titusandronicus4826 2 года назад

Hi Adam, I wish you and your family a happy new year! Good to see the "old stuff" on the channel again, like the famous AED-Vid. I'd be glad if you can make a vid like this for the electric windows in the doors. Specially for the rear side windows of the coupé. Even Iain Tyrell kept these as a secret and I learned that a XJ Coupé is coming your way 😇

@LivingWithAClassic 2 года назад

I’ll try and make a video on those at some point. Yes those rear windows are a bit like magic.

Great Adam and may you enjoy your daily drive more frequently. And luckily it wasn't a major issue.Greetings from South Africa and have a blessed day.

I hope to be able to use it more and more. Thanks!

@stephanusjohanneshough2646 2 года назад

@@LivingWithAClassic Hope that you will have lots of uninterrupted pleasure from it.Cant wait to get mine up and running as it is sitting for more than seven years and thousands of rands spend up to date.I love and appreciate all your knowledge that you share with us.At least i had learned a lot more from you especially in regards with the xj6. Electrical is still a big issue as it is never or very often untouched at the fuse box and console switches .Would like to get more knowledge on the electrical side as well. Keep safe and God bless you and your family.

Adam, I had been researching countless times on how to fix my wipers and had no sucess till now ! Its been raining here in Northern California, and I have not been driving also due to no wipers on my 1970 Xj6. I will try exactly what you had sucess with and hope that gets them going. I learned so much from your site this last summer getting my old classic up and running after I purchased it from sitting for many years. Thanks for all your efforts and have a great start to this New Year !

@LivingWithAClassic 2 года назад

I hope you can get your wipers going also! Glad I’ve been able to help you with your cars

@KikoRatonne 2 года назад

Fantastic as always! could you make another video of the windshield washer system? HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE XJsixers!!

@LivingWithAClassic 2 года назад

You mean just the fluid sprayer? Don’t think that would make an interesting video as it’s just a simple pump and some hoses

@williamendres1265 2 года назад

Thanks for the video Adam, my XJ6 wipers are acting up and I'll probably need to do the same thing soon.

Happy New Year to you and your family Adam. People complain about Lucas equipment and British electrics in general. This is a perfect example of how these things can be repaired. You don't need to throw things away and just replace them. Most of the parts are available too if you look around a bit. Great start to the year.

@LivingWithAClassic 2 года назад

Happy new year to you too! Honestly I’ve never had much issues related to Lucas. I feel that the whole “Lucas Prince of Darkness” is quite exaggerated.

@henrikolsson2586 2 года назад

Looks like the Lucas 14W wiper motor in my 1973 Morgan 4/4. A somewhat sluggish operation was cured by removing old hardened grease, cleaning and applying fresh grease. Worn out brushes or a faulty park switch can easily be replaced - and the motor is up and running again. This is a very odd wiper system but it consumes very little space under the bonnet, the motor can be placed in a convenient spot. I have also repaired the motor in the Lucas Screenjet washer pump. That motor must be the worst DC motor in the history, probably the reason for the shady reputation of the Lucas name. OK, to be fair that motor is only supposed to run a few seconds now and than...

@frglee 2 года назад

Well done that man! Not so relaxing when you do all this stuff and the part still refuses to work though. Back in the day, when my hopes were high but resources low, there was a great impetus to fix old car componants rather than replacing them, not always successfully. Little money concentrated the mind wonderfully and sometimes I could bodge a repair with inventive use of bits of plastic, metal, bits of meccano, screws and wire from my 'junk box'. Nowadays, at least scrapyards are more organised as regards disassembly of cars, and there is often a plethora of good value spare parts for sale on common models.

@LivingWithAClassic 2 года назад

So far I’ve been pretty lucky with getting things going again. I do try and keep a lot of old spares around also. It helps to have extras with these cars now that they’re so old

@bobstride6838 2 года назад

Great video Adam, I have always wondered how the wipers worked

@LivingWithAClassic 2 года назад

They’re really more simplistic than you’d think. I think I’ll remove the wiper motor on my XJ12 just to lubricate them at some point

That was really helpful Adam thanks for filiming it I have a question if you can help are the ashtrays the same in my 1995 XJS as a XJ Series three I found cup holders can can be fitted in place of the ashtrays thanks Andy.

@LivingWithAClassic 9 месяцев назад

I think they are the same but I am not 100% sure. I do not think they ever changed them on the XJS during the production time.

@uhn100 9 месяцев назад

Thank you Adam I think their the same as well @@LivingWithAClassic
