Fuse had blown which I have just replaced but still no wipers.

Is there anything other than the motor which it may be?

Could be the relay.

If you know it's location sometimes there is one next to it the same and you can swap them round, not sure about this particular model.

There is a relay but it is special to type being as it includes the wiper delay. It will be the tallest relay on the box.
I believe there is also more than one fuse for the wipers...one for running the second for park.

Thanks both, made it home without assistance as the rain stopped eventually. I will check the other fuses.

Is it worth trying a new relay if the washers work?

The washers work on a different circuit, the wiper relay should be the cheapest thing to replace first.

If the motor is fairly accessible you could check the supply and earth with a test lamp or meter. You could also try giving the motor a light tap with a hammer, if it moves a bit then stops it's generally knackered but make sure the wiper linkage itself isn't seized.
