anyone had there windscreen wipers stop returning to the bottom and just stopping where they are when you switch them off. On a Puma?

Thanks, have booked it in with the dealer as it sounds like it is a pre curser to them packing up completely.

Would not be good in this weather, might rain-x the screen just in case as they can not take it till tuesday.

While mine are working (touch wood), I did try Rain-X on the windscreen, as I use it on the other car to great effect.

I found that it really didn't do much on the Defender. Perhaps it is the shape/angle of the windscreen? Actually - it kind of made everything greasy and streaky.

well following 3 trips to the dealer the wipers are fixed, they swapped the wiper motor, swapped the relay and checked the fuses, it still would not work. It was eventually traced to a wiring fault, so new bit of loom and away we go.
I am guessing the wiring had rubbed through but they were not for saying exactly.
