Hi
Went to switch my windscreen wipers on today and they are not moving but I can hear the wiper motor . Washers all work as does the rear wiper. Any ideas what can be wrong?
Its an 04 Berlingo multispace 19d

Welcome along!
Most likely the wiper linkage has broken - you might be able to see the broken link through the air vents on the scuttle. Scrapyard replacement likely required, as I've no doubt a Citroen replacement is ££££

You can temporarily fix the joint with a few cable ties .. that will see you through the immediate future .. but replacement is the eventual option.
