Starters are a 1.1 Kw unit typically, not a clue on wiper.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

If this is any help I rigged up some mains multi-core cable for a switch solenoid bodge as had starting trouble on an S16 motor. That could withstand over 30secs of cranking without getting hot.________________________________________ IPhase 3 Astor. Built on Wednesday, 12th April 2000 in France.

Not sure exactly what they draw but it is not a lot. It is just a solenoid. If you measure the resistance across it you can work it out... ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |
