Default 156 - Windscreen wiper problem

My 156 (1998, 55k miles on the clock) has developed an intermittent problem
with the wipers. In summary, the wipers refuse to work (sometimes !!) -
either they won't sweep at all, or only very sluggishly. Up to now, I've
managed to get them going by switching wipers on/off a few times.

Is this a sign of eccentric electrics and/or a dying wiper motor ?

If the latter, any ideas what a new motor will cost (parts and fitting) ??

Dave S.... 156 2.0 SP2 '98 :>))

The wiper unit on a 147 is one piece, Motor + L & R wiper drives. Fitted by
4 bolts cost £112 inc vat.
