The intermittant wiper problem is all done and dusted thanks to you guys. Just finished doing the following if it helps anyone else.
1,Removed both wipers marking were they were on the windscreen.
2, Removed about 12 plastic caps and screws from the front plastic cover underneath the wipers
3, Lifted up the plastic cover which conceals the wiper motor.
4, Disconnected the power supply to the wiper motor and unbolted the 3 screws,removing the motor completely.
5, Drilled out the 5 rivets to the plate next to the connected wiper motor.
6, cleaned all the white gunk from inside, used a fine screwdriver to lift out the burnt piece of copper from one of the rails inside the rotary pivot. Gently filed the 3 copper fillaments and bent them a bit further back into position.
7, Replaced the rivets with 3 self tapping screws.
I then put it all back together and it works perfectly.
The only mistake I think I made was losing the cover to the wiper nut which dropped into the bowls of the engine never to be seen again.
Thanks again chaps, I think your threads saved me a fortune and lots of frustration watching my wipers sticking in front of my nose.
Cheers,
Nick.
