my wipers are dead slow, even on the fastest setting, the intermitant does not work, is there a relay for intermitant?
also they dont go to the stop positon. i have taking the motor/lingage off.
the lingage is not seized so i guess its the motor?

any ideas?

It may also be down to the fuse box, it's a nest of wires inside there and you loose voltage through every connection. 

Clean up every connection you can find!

At some point I want to find an alternative unit or an alternative wiring method.  I've tried the mod used by the Monte owners but it's not perfect for the other Betas.

You have to take the fuse box out completely and undo the screws on the back then prize it open carefully.

Once open you'll see the wires inside, I've soldered the wiper circuit wires instead of the spade terminals.
