A few problems with the wiper motor, it doesn't always park correctly when
switched off and the intermitant wipe stops whereever it likes from time to
time. I have investigated several times but to no avail as it all seems to
be in order any ideas what it may be

cheers

Jon,
  Did you check the fuse behind the right side knee bolster?

The fuse must be working or the wipers would not work at all as it happens
intermitantly and not continuosly. or is this fuse specific to the park
facility of the blade.

John,
  This is a fuse that is specific to the park function of the wiper.  When
I first got my '88, the wiper would park in what ever position it felt like.
It was most annoying.

AS SOON as I replaced the fuse, the wiper immediately went into the proper
park position and I have never had a problem with the park again.  If you
remove the knee bolster panel on the right side (USA cars), you will find a
wire that has a single spade fuse in the middle of it.  Check to see if the
fuse is blown.  If it is, replace it and your park problem should go away.
If not, you need to adjust the micro switch.

Commond problem easy to solve!

Just open the wiper motor and change the micro switch inside.
It's very cheap to change and you can do it yourself.
