HI i've got a 2012 QQ when i turn the wipers on nothing happens but if i leave them on full power after a few seconds they seem to work but wont work in any other setting also if i stop the wiper it doesn't go back into its original position but will stop in the position i turn the wiper off in. .

the back one works fine and so do the washer options

its just the front wipers.

any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like the wiper stalk to me. You should be able to pick one up at a scrap yard fairly cheap

I have literally the same issue, 2012 QQ, full speed working fine. The one day I book it into a garage the bloody things work fine and they say they see no fault and suggest a motor replacement (no thanks).

Was it your stalk tony? If so did some WD40 fix it?

This seems to be caused by corrosion on the output shaft of the motor. You say the motor stops and the fuse blows implying that the blades move.
