I have ordered a new switch rather than try to take the old one apart so hopefully that will fix it.

	I've just replaced the same switch on my Mini Clubman, sixteen quid from a Lucas dealer. It was quite a fiddly job. First you have to remove the cover on the wiper motor/gearbox assembly and disconnect the rod. Unplug the switch connector block and remove the whole wiper assembly. Remove the circlip from the back of the assembly that secures the shaft of the wiper gear wheel. Tap the gear wheel shaft out using a small hammer and drift. Release the spring clip that secures the old switch to the assembly body and remove the old switch. Then fit the new switch and grease up the assembly. Good luck
