Damn french pos, things break with immaculate timing!Went to leave work, turn the rear wiper on and it did a sweep across the rear screen and stopped but was making a noise as if the teeth on the motor weren't engaging with the arm. Got home and moved the arm manually and it went back to the park position, did a sweep and got stuck again. What would need replacing please? I have a spare meridian that I can "borrow" parts from  |

Probably the whole lot TBH. It'd likely be easier that way ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once. It said if you don't want to end up in here, stay away from crime, women and drugs. Trouble is, that don't leave you much else to do, does it? |

Plus I can't stand a filthy screen so want this wiper to work again. |
