Thanks for the link.. tempted to do this job myself otherwise it will cost me £60 to have done..on top of the £60 i am paying to have 2 cv boots replaced and £50 to have my new headlights an HID's fitted

My front wipers did this not so long ago, they even stopped dead in the middle of the screen at one point it was like that for a few days (luckily we didnt have any rain)

Now for some strange reason they have started to work perfectly again and i havnt had any problem with them since hmmm

Yea that's how it happens they are intermittent..my wiper are working fine at the mo but everynow an then i have to pull em to get em going. I replaced the linkage a couple years ago that sorted the problem until a few weeks ago so now i think it's the motor gradually on it's way out. Once they new motor is in a will strip the old one an see if it can be refurbed.
