    Wiper death

    Hi guys, this has no doubt been covered before but can't for the life of me get the search to work! Wipers seem to have given up the ghost (VERY slow and get stuck halfway up/down the windscreen) so am guessing the culprit is a seized linkage. Does anyone have a part number for the linkage...
