Hello and welcome. If you can get a secondhand wiper motor as well as another heater motor I'd try that. They tend to fail if they have not been used much :dontknow:

There was a 'hot to' posted a while back here on cleaning/replacing your wiper spindles. Once cleaned and greased up they can be like new again.

It's commonly known that mk1 wipers have two speeds, slow and exteemly slow.

I seem to recall my cabby didn't have the fast(er) speed on the wipers. I took the wheel off, investigated further and found there was a white peg preventing the stalk from switiching further onto the next contact. I removed it (like taking a tooth out) and hey presto faster wipers !
Welcome aboard by the way !
