X150 wiper replacement

Postby andypryce » Sun Aug 12, 2018 5:17 pm

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to replace the wiper blades on the x150? They only tilt by 10 degrees which would seem to make removal impossible?

I hoped to attach a copy of the Jaguar W'shop manual instructions, but it would seem that pdf and Word docs can't be used!

So to try and explain! Remove the air inlet cover around the right hand wiper spindle. There are three clips holding it, two inboard and one outboard.

Remove the blanking plug on the wiper arm spindle and undo the nut below it.

Disconnect the washer jet block from the cowl vent screen.

Remove the wiper arm assembly after which you should be able to unclip the oldwiper blade from the arm and fit the new.

Refit the arm assembly, using the alignment mark on the windscreen to position it correctly.

Lefthand side should be similar.

It would seem that aerodynamic requirements have overtaken the old fashioned way!!
