Any ideas why my wiper blades , when they are on, constantly stop at different positions other than doing what they are supposed to do?

Dodgy motor?

How much is a new one, its bloody annoying, like when its on intermittant, sometimes they do 7 sweeps, sometimes 2, but always sticking somewhere across the screen.

More than likely the motor and/or the linkage seizing up.

Well covered before.

Mine are getting sluggish for the first couple of wipes as well. Will need to do this before fitting the aero wipers I think.

Oh yes... do it before they get stuck.... !! Otherwise you will end up like me - having to get a lift home on the back of a lorry!

Been horrible and wet this morning, and now really windy in Weymouth today :-(
