I used MBenz's Documentation to get me started.
The first pair of grills come out easy.
The second is more tricky, and some of the centre clips are a killer to get off. It would be far easier if MB made this section in 2 parts!
I only went as far as this:
From here with the wiper running, I could see the linkages moving about. I used WD-40 (it fixes everything right?) to lubriacte all the moving joints.
However, this proved of no use. The noise made is very aparent from outside, but not loud enough to be heard from inside the car.
The noise is a sort of mechanical whirring noise, like an old Washing machine.
I guess it is the wiper motor itself.
Does anyone know (V12?):-
Any idea of new or used prices?

Does anyone know (V12?):-
- Is the motor and mechanism one part or are they available separately? - pic at bottom
- Is replacement a unbolt old an bolt on new job, or is alignment required?
