Hi i am having the same probs look at my post doc131246....

Just had this (10 months back). Pull the wiring block off the rear wiper motor. If that cures the problem at the front then replace the rear motor (£85 at main dealer.....unobtainable at breakers!)

Or put an ad in the wanted section a few octy owners have taken the rear wiper off their cars for the smooth look
