    What's the age of the car? I wouldn't be going to a main dealer for one that's more than a few years old. Local garage should be able to advise of fixing it if it's an older car
    It’s almost 7yo but it only has 23,000 miles. I was hoping it would last a bit longer before having problems like this. I’d prefer to use a local garage but I think with electrical stuff I’d have to go to the dealership. 
    Depending how happy you are to have a go yourself it might be the contacts in the wiper stalk. This is the same problem I had with the indicators on my Golf. Cleaning the dust/dirt from the contacts fixed the issue but even if you don't want to try there is no reason why a local garage couldn't fix it.
