Hey there! Well my front wipers were intermittent now they have completely stopped working! The back wiper and all washer jets are working but nothing from the front wipers!

Iv changed the fuse and no joy, does this mean the motor has gone and if so is this easy to fix without a costly trip to BMW? x

Check for a bad earth wire to the motor first. :)
