RRS front wiper problem

Wifey was using the RR last night, she says the wipers will only go half way across the screen, motor is still working, any ideas guys please.

Have you had a screen replaced recently or battery changed? 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

It has been known for the wiper arm to driving spindle connection to work loose - it happened to the O/S arm on my TDV8. Easy to check - make sure the wipers are in the 'park' position and pop the bonnet so you can access the bottom of the wiper arms, prise out the circular sealing grommet and check tightness of the nyloc nut underneath.

If no problem there and the motor is running fine then suggests the linkage is at fault - quite easy to access by removing the scuttle trim panel. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

nothing has been changed, I can hear the motor going, and if I help the wipers move they do so with very little effort, but as soon as I let go of them they stop !

Where about are Bob. I'm close to Turriff and there's a couple of places that would be able to help rather than a LR dealership.
