Hi all.
I'm needing a new wiper motor. From searching the old internet there seems to be 2 types,some have a black housing and some a silver/goldish housing covering the windings.
They all seem similar priced,just wondering how they perform or if there's no difference in reliability regardless of casing colour.
Cheers folks

When I replaced mine I got a second hand unit from one of the mini breakers on eBay so I know it would fit, I think it was about £15. I got 3 months warranty with the second hand unit but I assume on a new unit you would get a year or so.

I have heard of a failure of a new one but haven't heard anything else.
