hi all. During wet weather, I eventually get no response from my wipers at any speed other than fast. Before this happens, the wipers will stop mid-sweep, so I know it's going to happen....
Anyone any ideas??

Sonds like carbon track inside wiper motor worn. You can take motor out and repair carbon track or replace motor perhaps from a breaker.

Complete how to repair this in technical articles. Very comprehensive - even I was able to do it albeit with cut hands! An hour or so should do it and no cost if you've got some grease.
