It may be the wiper arm drive might be at fault, either failed or jammed, along with the motor possibly being duff.

don,t believe it ! they can,t get motor until new year so i,ll be staying home this holiday.
if they,re hard to get does that mean theres a manufacturers fault causing a shortage ?

Latest news bought a haynes manual,£20 well spent. took off plastic caps, tightened spindle nuts, lovely jubbly! apparently they,re supposed to slacken so you don,t do expensive damage.
n.b. check your wipers are switched off before you turn on ignition in the frosty mornings.
Merry Christmas everyone !!
