wipers don't finish or never get there (bottom of windscreen) when set to intermitent! have to use manual single wipe on stock control to finish the job which does the same and has to be held down till wiper finishes!

think it is your motor which needs looking at fella.
do a search for wiper motor repair. It is the grease on the contacts that gets in the way, needs a clean and a re-grease. Should get normal operation then.
there may even be a write-up about this in the articles section?
Edit - wait for one of the legends like Brianmoooore to chime in, I may not be 100% there, it could be a relay or a fault with the stalk.

Its a pretty easy job, well if I can do it, it must be easy!

Doh! I was a minute late with the link!
Mine didnt end up looking as good as the one in the guide but it works fine now. The old grease in mine had gone all crusty, so I just used a paper towel to remove most of it and put a dab back on again with me finger.
