    Windscreen wipers struggle to move. Troubleshooting?

    Hi all, found out today that my parents' V-reg K11 wipers struggle to move. You just gear this crunching or grinding noise. It's not the blades as I took them off and the arms barely moves. I took off the caps covering the nuts, and cleaned around there with some APC as it was gunked up, but...

    Just wanted to give you guys an update. Got it collected to be scrapped today. I should be getting £126 for it, which ain't too bad. Thanks for all your help, and I guess farewell for now? Unless my dad's V reg Micra also packs up and I'm back for help again :D

    Hi all, thanks for your responses so far. I'm reluctant to spend say more than £100 to fix this, especially since I was planning to get rid of it before ULEZ hits me next October, so any other free or low-cost fixes would be much appreciated. There was one other suggestion which I'll try this...

    Thanks for the responses both. I have this key, without remote unlocking. I couldn't see anywhere to pry it open with a flat headed screwdriver. Does it have a battery inside?

    Hi all, I've got a 2001 X-reg K11 1.0 S 5 door manual with 38000 miles on it, which was bought brand new by my mum, but I think it's a goner now.... I started driving it 10 years ago and it became mine 3 years ago. I'm afraid a service has never been done as these are things we did not think...
