Hi,
The wipers on the 300 Tdi Disco won't park properly and intermittant wipe
sweeps the blades halfway then they stop for a while before completeing the
wipe. Had a look for anything obvious with no luck, does anyone have any
ideas at all?

My 97 300tdi Disco is doing a similar thing. The normal and fast speeds
work OK but the intermittent and wash wipe functions don't park
properly and have pauses in operation. Is this a worn wiper motor?

Your park switch has died - unfortunately not available seperately
from the motor on Discovery's.

ours is the same. new motor AIUI, but I might try pulling the old one apart
afterwards, to see if it can be fixed.

park switch, undoubtedly - that affects parking and intermittent wipe but
not normal wipe or wash-wipe cycle (until the end)

Thanks all, so it's in the motor then. No wonder I couldn't find it.
Go on Richard - how much for the required bits?
