    My windscreen wipers (front) have just started parking themselves halfway up the screen which is really annoying!

    Does this mean I've got a dodgy motor or is there something wrong with the linkage?

    They do it every time not just occasionally.

    i had a similar problem - although they stopped at different places each time but never parked! turned out to be a bad connection in the wiper switch - i removed it, cleaned the muck off and it was ok again.

    Do you mean the connection to the wiper motor? Or on the stalk on the steering collumn?

    Cheers

    sorry I meant the wiper stalk. it had some grease on the contacts. i must point out the wipers stopped in a completely random way - not half way up the screen everytime but anywhere. i thought it might be the relay but no.

    good luck!
