Front Windscreen Wiper Motor Fault?

Hi all, I

Could this be the motor siezing? - common fault. Search this site for solutions. If its this it's easy to resolve.

Mine done this just before the linkage completely seized. It seizes on the spindles as water gets into the bearing there. You'll have to get the linkage out and try to disassemble the spindles and grease them up. It is on here somewhere with how to do it. But be careful! I broke the actual linkage itself when trying to free it up and had to get a whole new mechanism.
