Windscreen wiper issue.

Windscreen wiper issue.
Got caught in the rain yesterday and had to use my wipers for the first time in 10 months.
They were really slow then gradually got faster, but still not as quick as they should be. If i switch them off and back on again the cycle of them starting really slow repeats.
Does anyone know if the motor's are servicable or failing that, know anywhere I can get a new one/or one off another model etc..
Cheers.

Well I decided as it was still light out to have a look. Cleaned up the contacts under the plug. gave all the mech a bit of a lube.
Its working fine on the first speed, if I switch it to the second speed it goes slower then the first speed. The motor seems to be struggling. If I lift the wipers off the windscreen it works as it should.

Took the motor to bits today.
It was quite hard to turn by hand.
Looks good inside. No burn marks, plenty of brush left. Slight blacking on the pick ups which cleaned up nicely.
However, putting it all back together there was a threaded bung that screws into the top of the motor. This was filthy with dirt etc. I screwed this is in then could not turn the motor by hand. The more I unwound the bung the easier the motor turned by hand.
Didn't get a chance to get it back on the car tonight so I'll see if this has made any difference.

oh! haha. Mine still has its cycle. Just ends up at different parts of the windscreen when switched off of different speeds.
I'm thinking I may have the mech a spline or two out or something.
EDIT: Yup. moved the mech over a few splines and the resting point is nearly the same on all settings. I reckon it could do with moving another spline or two, however, not possible to see with it still bolted in the car.
