Would have said the motor too, check the power going to it as well and the wiring before changing it for a new motor, although a 2nd hand motor wont be too much anyway... :smiley:

Could also strip down the wiper mech and clean up the spindles that the wiper arms attatch to ! They do corrode quite badly and happened on my first mk 1
