The wiper motor is fairly expensive if it goes, but fairly easy to fix. Might be worth getting one from a scrappy, as it'll be cheap.

The thump thump could be anything from wheels needing balancing/engine mount/wishbones/droplinks/arbs. Can you eloborate on the thump?

A flat spot at 5-6k could mean your maf is on it's way out, or the lambda sensor. have any warning lights come up on the dash?
