Could it be a flooded relay that's packed in? Anybody know which relay is for wipers?

Well, the first problem is hill and ditch, you gotta cut that **** out, the sand there ruins everything.
Next, it's most likely to be the motor itself.
The wipers don't have a relay, not on 200s at least, the self park is handled in the motor itself and it is likely shorting out.
Access the motor in the bulkhead and open it up for a strip and clean and see what's what.

You'll have to take the heater fascia off and check the cables, could have either snapped or broken a heater cable
I snapped mine iirc and just set the heater to full hit using the lever on the box and then used it as and when
Hateful heater tbh, is now replaced with a much simpler unit

Cheers mate. So how do I access this wiper motor? Engine bay or in car?

Good question tbh, it's one of the few things I've not had to replace on mine
Pretty sure it's under the scuttle in the engine bay, probably a Haynes job if it's not obvious!

DiscoNickY i had the same problem last year its was a caput motor i changed the stalks and it made no difference then changed the motor and hay presto perfect wipers again
to get to the motor it is like mr noisey said under the scuttle in the engine bay on the drivers side, remove the wiper rods which is pretty obvious how it comes off there is a steel cover with 4 bolts(poss 6) that are 10mm un do them and the motor comes out attached to the plate

Never been Bala before. Not much deep water is there. I've had my fill of ridiculously deep water now anyway. Think I'll steer clear of it. Haha. Sure there'll still be more breakages tho.
