Hi, I am new to this website and I am grateful for any advice.

My E270cdi has developed a fault with the wiper blades. The will not work on any setting at all. However if the stalk is lifted up as in turning right the wipers works as they should (speed sensitive/medium/fast)

Has anybody else had this issue and if so what is the fix please.
 
The controls are on a combination stalk, controlling wipers, indicators, lights, etc.

Eventually the cables inside break and the only sensible fix is a replacement stalk.

When the stalk is in the right turn position the broken cable for your wipers is making contact - but not in other positions.

I had one replaced around 6 or 7 years ago and it was aroun £130 from the main dealer if I recall correctly.

I hope this helps.
 
As above, The Stalks are also available from Febi Bilstein
 
Thank you both for you replies and the welcome. I will get on a order one as I think I might be in for an MOT fail otherwise :)
