MG MGA - Wiper Motor Restorer..?

Hi everyone,

My wiper motor refuses to do anything other than get very hot. I have tried everything to persuade it not to do this.

Is there anyone in the UK that I could send it to get it re-built and bench tested..?

Thank all

But first check that the rack can move back and forth and isn't either rusted solid or gummed up with old hard grease

Presumably you have checked the brushes? This would be a cheap repair if they were dead.................Mike
