So is this the same problem (i.e. mechanism slip) when the wipers park near the bottom of the screen but, on the next stroke, start again by moving slightly lower before moving back up the screen again?

  yes.

It's easily sorted anyway Mike. There are 4 (?) hex headed self tappers holding the whole mechanism in place, remove them & it'll come forwards first, then out over the wing (obviously after the wipers & scuttle have been removed). There's 13 mm nut that holds the arm onto the wiper motor spindle, it's this nut that needs slackening to let the arm turn to the correct position between the >    < marks. 

Let the wipers stop on their own before you start the job so that the spindle is in the correct park position.

It's not me who will be sorting it, but our local friendly independent, sadly there is not much more than the basics I do these days, though all tooled up.......

I know the feeling Mike, sadly my tool doesn't get used these days and I wouldn't dare risk an 'Independant'

  The pair of you.........

How do you take the scuttle off? not that I have looked yet...... Garage want it booked in as not a 5 min job, so he couldn't do it there and then......

Wiper arms off, M8 nut off & gently lever the lower part of the arm to get it off the taper.

Lift the rubber from the bottom of the screen & there should be half a dozen or so 1/2 turn plastic 'fasteners' that hold the top part of the scuttle in place

Torx head screw on the driver's side of scuttle

Remove the rubber seal from its lower edge.

That's all I can think of ......
