I think you need to replace the driver's side gerbil (dead) with one which is alive, then give the passenger side wiper gerbil a damned good thrashing for failing to supply the prescribed amount of moral support to it's co-worker. Make sure the new gerbil is of good moral standing to begin with, properly fed and waterproofed and it'll be at home in no time.
WELCOME! (It's a good idea to just introduce yourself in this section THEN post the question in the appropriate section (Defender)). Every forum's different and each one has different rules
:doh: - now that is a bloody good idea using hamsters!
Glad you found the section - the entire section is a mechanical issue (as are the others; Disco, RR, Freelander etc.) - no particular page just post away. I hope you get it sorted, with or without the aid of small furry mammals.
