Hi Peter,
Sounds like the same problem- the wiper motor isn't getting
dead-shorted when it goes across the park position.
On the later type wiper
motors the auto-park part doesn't just turn off the 12V when it gets to the
stop position, it has a secondary function which shorts the motor to make sure
it stays put, which requires a double-throw switch. The wiring diagram is here

Just had a look at the BN4
wiring and it it has the auto-park feature but doesn't short the motor to
stall it at the parked position. Perhaps there is enough friction in the
system to stop it under all conditions.
The BN4 workshop manual says if
wipers continue to run then the auto park limit switch needs adjusting by
rotating the front housing of the wiper motor. Wiper motor is DR2
Andy.
