That’s what the mechanic suggested too, but it would still involve removing the dash which is the time consuming bit.

Thanks, worth a try

Took the car into Highland Motors in Borve who advised the problem was a worn ‘worm’ - which drives the wipers. Motor was fine. Replacement is straightforward but involves removal of the dash and will take 4 - 5 hours. No garage on Skye is able to do a job of this size by Saturday when we leave...
