Hi all,

So, on the rare occasion I use them - often because I get my sticks mixed up, they sometimes freeze mid wipe and nothing moves them. Then, after the car has been turned off for a bit and started again, they work again.

Any ideas...?

Many thanks in advance

Many thanks for all the advice. Located the motor under the bonnet where you said it would be. It has a piece of cardboard shoved under the connector which makes me think this may have happened before and is a loss connection. If course they worked fine, but grind to a halt on the friction on the screen - so will try some rain plus or whatever it is to make it easier for them!

Best
