Noisy wiper motor!

After a few hours of having the wipers going today I've noticed the whine the motor is making is louder and more obvious from before.
Is this a sign of it being 'on-the-way-out?' or is it just something it does when it gets hot?
It's on a TD5 defender btw.

Take it apart and use some lithium grease not WD40.
WD40 is not a lubricant as such. It is meant as a water dispersant. It lubricates for a short while only.
If you dont want to strip everything down then try using 3 in 1 which is a lubricating oil.
It will last longer than WD40 but no where near as long as grease.
