Default Loose end tie up

I thought I would come back to this, the very first post I made on the forum. I eventually sorted out my rear screen wiper motor. I discovered when comparing mine to another (at the meet on 12 Feb, see https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=74534 ) that the small spindle in the tailgate window section was stuck in the in position and not springing out and therefore was not engaging with the actual motor mechanism. The main thing however, was that the motor was not running and I was unsure whether the washer pump (which worked at the time) and the motor (which didn't) shared the same fuse. I discovered on Sat that the rear wiper has its own fuse (no 42) and once swapped everything worked. Now this information was not in Haynes Manual but was in the User Handbook. Moral of this story is: RTFM. Consequence: I now have a second fully working rear wiper motor that will have to go on ebay, hey ho!
