Replacement motor from our sponsors sorted it.

That would be my guess too.
Not had it on a D2 (yet) but I have had the same fault on other cars. Sometimes it's just worn out brushes I think. When the brushes get so worn that they're close to the end of their travel, the spring tension becomes too weak to make a reliable contact with the commutator.
I can remember on one car I had the fault on (a BX I think), reaching out of the window in the pouring rain to give the wipers a nudge, which was usually enough to get them going again.
