There's a small chance that your wiper mechanism isn't lined up properly.
I had this a while back. The coverage of the screen with the blades was fine, but the motion of the wipers was noisy. New blades didn't fix it and I remembered that I had taken the wiper mechanism out a while before to get to the washer bottle.
Turns out that I'd missed the locating peg at the rear of the bulkhead for the wipe mechanism to mount onto. It's easily missed and the main bolts for the wiper arms line up without this locating peg being in the correct place. Essentially it looks right, but it isn't.
Unbolted it, lined it up again and the bolted it back in - and it's been fine ever since. Grand total of 10-15 minutes to do - and that's me being over-cautious!

Cheers mate, I’ll have a check at the weekend when I’m under the bonnet anyway.

No worries - I hope that fixes it!
I've hijacked an image off here from years back and drawn an arrow to roughly the location of the fixing peg. It's from memory, so I might be a little out - but if you look in the cavity of where the wiper mechanism is, you can't miss the peg.

Good link Steve - @NaplesValver one of the images in that thread shows the actual peg I'm on about.

Read through it and spotted the peg you're talking about. I'll check it ASAP:up:
