Hi all,
Need a bit of help or advice with a problem with my wipers. They are slow and juddering across the screen and come to a stop a few times during a sweep and take a few seconds to get them going again. The stalk only operates the wipers in the pulse setting, put it on continuos or fast and they dont do anything. Have lifted the wipers up off the screen and the same thing happens so its not that they are sticking on the screen. Had a nightmare today when this happened towing the caravan on the motorway. Anyone got any ideas on what it can be ????
Thanks in advance.

The wiper linkage is a common problem mate, it seizes up after a while, some people will say that taking it off and lubing it is the way forward but i tried that and yes it does work for a while but i had to buy a new linkage in the end

Also, if it's been doing it for a while, may damage your motor, catch 22.
