Last night my rear wiper started going at high speed, to turn it off I had to move my stalk into the on position. Later that night the wiper started again and nothing would switch it off.

I read up about the problem on here and found it can be the jet hose has leaked or other problems so first thing this morning took the lid trim off to get eyes on it:

Does it look like I just need to replace the motor? Keen to resolve it before anything else needs replacing too. In the past I have had rare issues with my boot lock mech where I shut the boot and it doesn't engage, shut again or a few more times and eventually it does. When it doesn't engage the mech makes a noise still, not sure if this is related or not.

Cheers
 
I've bit the bullet and picked up a new genuine motor from eBay and a wiper/bearing puller from Amazon.
 
Forget the bearing puller.Just undo the nut and hacksaw it off under the wiper arm. Thats what i did .
