not that i doubt you as i know not of these pesky things lols....wiper seems to go ok just stops half way up window only when it come to park, when wiping it goes all the way down and back up no probs..

Wiper motor is faulty, theres a thread on it somewhere on how to repair it... Are you any good with drilling out rivets and a dab of soldering?

thats the thread, new earth strap, I know for sure as it happened to me christmas bluddy eve! Stripped it out and fixed on boxing day. Its deffo not linkage mis-adjustment as it travels normally on wipe, but purely the selfpark function is fubar

About an hours work in total from start to finish. Not had a problem since

I followed it step by step, easier as per how2 and take the whole mechanism out. I didnt use nuts/bolts to refix the cover for the motor as I just re pop-rivetted it with new rivets

You 'may' be able to just unbolt the motor from the linkage.. Not sure on the access to it with the linkage in situ...
