If the wiper motors still going, and the blades aren't moving, then either the arm has come loose on the motor shaft, or the linkage has fallen off the arm. Lift out the left hand grille beneath the windscreen and have a look.
Headlamp adjusters never work and can't be repaired, only reolaced complete. Either live without them (only non working thing it's acceptable to have on an E30), or modify them to E34 electric adjusters.
Headlamp wipers are seized. Do a forum search - been discussed many times.

thanks mate for helping me, the gearbox on the motor burnt out, apparently a common thing with bosch motors. cheers

Can't agree with that statement. Most RH drive E30 wiper motors have badly worn output shafts, but I've never seen a burnt out one.
