slow to stationary wipers (as the search function is down)

The wipers work fine when the screen is wet but struggle or stall if the screen is dry. Is this a common problem, I.e. a design wekaness, or sign of something not working?

Park siwtch is a cheap and easy swap. If not motor is likely to be the culprit. Not cheap and best to get done asap - dont leave the wipers on as you may burn the motor out and cause a fire.
Adrian Venn is the contact to repair the motor.

Ta, I'll add it to the list of jobs. Unfortunately it is getting quite long.

Might be worth checking the earth in case that is contributing to the problem - otherwise as above.
