Wipe motor running very slow and then stalling. Not good with the weather we are enjoying at the moment!!! They are NOT just sticking on the windscreen, they do it when the wiper blades are lifted off the screen as well.

Sounds like the wiper motor is going. Exactly the same happened to me a couple of months back. Very likely you'll have to have it replaced - no clue what it costs, it was under warranty. Meanwhile, use rainX and stay over 60 mph - works a treat, who needs wipers anyway?

Dead right - my wiper motor has been replaced too. I've done over 250,000 milses in TVR's and I would reccomend the peace of mind of an extended warrenty!!
