Glad it worked Chris - I can't take credit for the success - the instructions came from someone else - now lost in the its of time (and memory!).

Very comprehensive those instructions. Brilliant.
It's important to get that wiring right. I've seen wires with all the insulation burnt off them through getting it wrong! Yes, I know the fuse should have blown but it didn't. Not my wiring I hasten to add!
Apologies for the thread resurrection... For anyone searching on how to adjust the parking position from left to right or right to left when you're using a Lucas motor...
Method one, lift the white plastic ramp off the drive cog that's under the main cover and move it to the alternative holes you can see on the picture.
Method two, rotate wiper box 180 degrees around the spindle and put the drive cable in from the other side .

One of my IVA fails was the wiper. The main issue was that like a muppet I didn't fit the alloy tube that provides the rigidity to the cable drive so while it worked fine with no wiper as soon as the screen was fitted and wiper added the friction on the screen meant the drive cable just folded rather than push the wiper back! I have removed everything, fitted the alloy tube and refitted. I am having 2 issues. First is that the bracket I used to mount the motor isn't strong enough so the motor is moving when the trying to push the wiper back - currently I have a single clamp thinking I may need to add a second one? Second is the sweep doesn't look like it is going far enough - is the part referenced above what I need for that and how does that work?
Thanks for any tips.
Hopefully you've sorted this with tips via Messenger Matt!
I am having the same issue - not getting the park function. Have tried to follow the directions above but no success. Pictures show wires to the Lucas motor and wires from the stalk - stalk has just 3 positions - off, slow and fast positions. They work fine but it is not returning to Park.
Any additional pointers welcome - and also does anyone know if park is an IVA requirement?

I can see it is an IVA requirement 35.6 so need to figure would what we have done wrong
The motor needs fitting with a standard Lucas wiper motor clamp. Whether on the outside of the front bulkhead, or under the dash:
Thanks - mounting is sorted, I have it under the dash securing the heater matrix housing. The issue is the wiring so that the wiper returns to the park position - at the moment the stop, slow and fast controls all work but when I move from on to off the wiper stops immediately rather than returning to the rest position which is seems is an IVA requirement.
'Sounds like you're nearly there Matt. The parking thing is sort-able, and has been discussed on here before.Originally Posted by moakley
I'm using a Vauxhall Corsa wiper motor, so without a Lucas wiper motor in front of me, it's difficult to advise.
There's some discussion regarding the park 'wedge/lobe' on the big gear on this thread
Another Hawk wiper thread
