Ok so my bros wipers on intermittent will wipe non stop like on normal setting them randomly stop anywhere and start again. On normal they just keep wiping no problem but when you turn them off they just stop anywhere. I think it is the park switch on wipers but ive never messed about with them, I assume they are located inside the motor and its easiest to just swap it for another motor?

Unfortunately, good second hand wiper motors aren't that easy to come by.
A design fault on RHD E30s exposes the wiper motor shaft to the elements, and, as a result, most second hand units have a lot of wear in the output shaft bush.
Good news is, your own unit is probably easily repairable - have a look int articles section, tech menu. As long as the brass wipers haven't broken, follow the guide, and it'll be good for another 15 - 20 years.
