Hi,
I have a problem with the wiper stalks, it failed MOT, I am looking for one but I can't find any, or very expensive from main dealer.
The part number is 6239W8, if anyone can help me out please.
Alternatively if I were to dismantle it, how likely can I repair it myself.

The problem I have is that the arm seems to activate the wipers, but makes noise of the washe pump, also there is no control of wiper speed, is this repairable ?
Thanks

You are unlikely to be able to repair the 'COM2000' - wiper stalks unit. But a replacement (from eBay) will just swap in with no reprogramming required if you get a like for like replacement.

The instructions for changing the COM2000 on a Citroen C3 are here.

For whatever good it will do you , have a look here:

(as pointed out by Arfur)

Look at the part number on the label of your COMs unit and search for that part number on Ebay. The major difference between part numbers is the number and labelling of buttons. For example some do and some don't have the radio buttons on the end of the wiper stalk.
