Right, got to the stage where the wiper system is ready to go back onto the bulkhead but before I fit it, are there any known weak areas on it that I should be changing out for new parts? I don't know how old the motor is but I guess that is relatively easy to get to once the dash is re-assembled so it's more the other parts that could be a right pig to get to at a later date?

wheel boxes are the only parts hard to change later

While you have it apart, have a close inspection of the spring drive thingy. They can break with wear/age. I'd replace it if it looks at all worn, and grease it well when replacing.
