As I said, this is something I have wondered about, but as there appears to
be a significant number of cars with the wipers parking on the right, they
cannot all be ex federal!
How about a straw poll? Of the +2 owners on this list, do the wipers park on
the left or right when you are sat in the drivers seat, and is the car LH or
RH drive?

Check out

These are all UK cars and all show the steeringwheel on the right and
the wipers rising from the left clockwise...er that is until you get to
the next to last picture and there are 2 cars next to each other with
the wipers going clockwise and anticlockwise.......oh I dunno......
I would have thought that legislation would have made the wipers rise
towards the driver depending on which country it going to.......ah
well......what do I know......

Federal conversions?????
I don't know to be honest but the way the ones on ebay rotate mean that
you do not get a clear screen and in theory if an MOT station noticed
they could I suppose fail you.....I'll ask my friend who does MOTs when
I go for mine on Saturday......I hope everyone understands what I'm
wittering on about....... Cheers G

Interesting. How come the two on ebay at the moment park on the right!

My wipers park on the left and rise clockwise as per standard UK spec
otherwise if your wiper rises from the right anticlockwise your view is
hampered by the section of the screen not cleared by the wpier...and I
have 2 washers....... Cheers G

I was wondering about this as well!
On my car, which you know, is of very dubious vintage, the wipers park
on the right, as viewed from the drivers seat, and rotate
anti-clockwise. The two on e-bay at the moment look to be the same (I
fancy the green one!)
The red one is a +2s but H reg. Mine however, is J reg, but has earlier
features!
One more point I noticed on the red car on ebay is that it only has one
washer jet. Mine has two!
What do other owners have?

On a UK +2 which way should the wipers rotate?.....
If you are sat in the drivers seat should they rise from your gearstick
side...(the left if it's a UK car and the right if it's a European of US
version).....does that make sense? In a RHD car the wipers are 'parked'
to the left and wipe in a clockwise sweep and the LHD cars wpiers are
parked to the right and wipe in an anticlowise direction.... Only ask as
I am possibly looking at one near me similar to mine....howeverlooking
at the perliminary pics it was one of the thing that stood out
immediately. Cheers Gareth
