X308 XJ8 3.2 1998 Windshield wiper motor LHD v. RHD.
Hi everyone!
Can anyone shed some light if the wiper motor for the XJ8 X308 is different for the LHD and the RHD? I'm trying like crazy to get another one in Bulgaria but most come from RHD while mine is a LHD. Since it's snow season and mine it's working but ***** nilly, meaning it starts when I want but it stops when it wants I'd like the luxury of turning it off when I please! haha.
Thanks!

The motor should be the same as it turns the same way in the gearbox it is attached to
The only difference is how you install the wiper arm on the spindle
You can place the bottom of a Styrofoam cup with a arrow marked on it to test final installation before putting wiper arm back on
Someone replaced the capacitator on the motor brushes and then there are the motor brushes themself that can wear , but based on your usage that is questionable
Have you swapped the 2 wiper relays ?
There is a history of the column switch wire connections coming loose and the wires getting pinched in the column
