My windscreen wipers stopped working in heavy rain. I stopped the car turned the car on and off a couple of times and they started working again this has happened twice in the last six months

I have a 2004/2005 Range Rover Vogue and my front wipers have failed in heavy rain on the motorway four times over the last few months. Fortunately on each occasion I have been able to make it to the hard shoulder safely. Usually, turning engine on and off a few times gets them working again, however, on the third failure it took twenty minutes. The local dealership has replaced the wiper motor, relay, control unit and done a point to point wiring and resistance check. After the last failure they kept thevehicle for a week but were unable to replicate the fault. I have written to Range Rover who just say that this is not a common fault. However, the more you look on the internet the more reports of this failure you find.

I have the same type of problem with a 1998 Range Rover. Initally it started to blow fuses then we put a resetting fuse in. This worked for a while but has gradually got worse. Now we only have the wipers working on full. The service centre have now said that we need to replace a $3000 control unit under the seat to make the wipers work. This is rediculous.
