Howdy folks...
Just a quick one to pick your brains a bit....
My drivers side window wiper has the yips. My fault, I accidently turned them on while they were covered in 5cm of snow & the drivers side refused to budge & hence it has buguared itself somewhat. It starts its wipe later than the passenger side one & they interfere etc. sometimes it doesnt work at all & sometimes it gets stuck up against my
snorkel (80 series LC)....
Any tips on what to fix/ replace? do i replace the whole thing or just a part maybe?
Cheers!

Probably just find it slipped around on it's splines.
Take it off the spline.
Turn the wipers on and then off again, so the left hand one sits in it's normal "off position" at the bottom of the screen.
Now install the RH drivers side one so that it sits in its normal off position at the bottom of the screen.
Now they should both work without crossing over each other or getting stuck up behind the
snorkel.
Don't worry bout it - the bills in the mail! ;o)
Cheers

It seems that you have either stripped the splines on the wiper arm or the shaft that it connects to. Or it is just loose.
Try and retighten it once you have repostioned it.
Otherwise you will either need a new wiper arm or main shaft.
