My wipers have started moving very slowly (in every mode, int, normal + fast) I've tried lifting them off the windows to see if it was some sort of friction caused by the blades but they still move slow when not touching the windscreen.

Any ideas appreciated

Unusual, but guess the motor is primary candidate.  Probably worth checking you are getting 12v to the motor first though...

Had similar problem on mine-I had to remove wiper assembly because the nut holding arm on motor worked loose Once tightened it was fine

had a similar problem on my old escort,,,was the carbon brushes. may be Omegas are too modern to have them....but it is possible

I bet its the linkage mine started going slow then packed up all together. I thought it was the motor at first cause it was red hot. got a second hand linkage plus motor and gave it a good greasing works fine now hope this helps
