Help!!
On the way to work this morning my wipers wouldn't work and obviously a guitar forum is the place to seek help. Moved stalk and relay clicks and motor makes noise as if working but no blade movement.
Can't remember the last time I had to use them but after realising they weren't working I recalled that last Thursday I heard a clunk noise when driving as if I had ran over something on the road, could a connection thingy have worked loose and fallen off?
I'll need to wait till tonight to have a look but any pointers appreciated.
It's a '14 plate Clio 1.2 btw

The bad news is that if it’s this, it’s not easy to change the bearing, and replacing the whole wiper arm is about £100...

Also there are two types apparantly, luckily I took the broken one with me to the used renault parts emporium and the got the correct replacement.
Had a look last night and one of the ball and socket joints on the linkage had separated. ( where the link from the motor joins the link from the wiper - ain't I a technical genius?). I managed to get it re-seated via the application of vise-grips but not sure how long it'll be before it goes again.
