New to NAM

Hi
I'm Will, I'm from the UK
I joined NAM because last night I had my wipers fail on my 2002 S in the pouring rain with 3 hours of my journey still left.
I limped home as best I could and got on google to see if I could get an insight to the problem.
At first it was looking like a motor change along with the bruised knuckles that go with the job but then I saw a post in caps that suggested a potential bad earth issue. I got up this morning, gave it a go and wow that has to be the easiest fix ever.
I felt I had to thank the guy who posted the info, so here i am.

I have driven minis since 1979.
Here are mine.

Welcome! I'm glad the wiper fix was that easy. I agree, the 2001 is a killer machine, it must be a blast to drive.

Welcome to NAM and I'm quite jealous of your 2001 Mini! I want to at least drive one sometime soon but wont be buying one for a while since I'd have nowhere to work on it or store it for long periods of time as of now.
