The windscreen wiper on the passenger side has stopped moving but the drivers side is working normally. Is there a linkage which could have dropped off or are they on separate motors. Any suggestions?

That happened a lot on my tuscan, ended up using locktight to keep it in place.

With a little luck, you can you tighten it with out having to take the main bonnet off.

As above though I couldn't have put it back together without taking the bonnet off!

If you unclip the clips at the top, it might give you enough room to get a long reach allen key in there, saves the agro of trying to take the bonnet off.

Problem solved. Sods law. Took the bonnet off and they both worked again. Tightened the allen bolts and keeping fingers crossed. Thanks for all your post though.
