slow windscreen wipers

[sheffsi]

hi guys.does anyone know the most likely cause for wipers that are not very quick on their fastest speed and sometimes stop midway through on intermediate stroke?is it more likely to be a tired motor or a dodgy relay?thanks for any help in advance.si

motor prob needs a strip down clean and re-grease.

I'd second that, did similar on mine years ago and it's been fine since. The motor and mechanism is very robust so cleans up well and bursts back into life in my experience.
