408 wiper problems

[Sterly]

Thanks for all the additional info. I have managed to do the job and it's all working except for the parking. The problem was the shaft of the large gear was seized in its housing. I found the most difficult part of the job was getting the circlip holding the spring back on. In the end I made a tool that could hold the spring pressure back while I slid the circlip on. Any ideas why the parking doesn't work? Because of the effort involved in the repair I don't really want to take it apart again - I guess I can put up with the problem for now!

I concur with everyone's sentiment that it is a pretty horrible job.
