I saw my first ever working headlight wiper on Cowboy's V70 at the Berks meet yesterday, he had just one working. In four Volvos of my own, eight headlamp wipers, I've never had one that worked. I think you're doing quite well to have one working! Good Luck with the other
Both mine work :P

This is another example of how Volvo has used plastic to replace metal part and created unreliability. my 95 car had a faulty wiper when I got it (broken gears inside), now replaced with ebay breakers parts. My metal geared 360 wiper moters all still work fine.

Plastic clutch pedal..worn+running out of travel arghh!!, Accelerator pedal is 'sticky' and does not operate smoothly over small movements.

You should be able to get second hand,.. I might break a 940 soon.
