Check the condition of the balljoints, and then the park switch inside the motor before changing the relays.

Will do tomorrow thanks all

Out of interest how do you identify which relay does what in the triangular compartment under the bonnet i see they're numbered but can't see a key anywhere including handbook, thanks for help

Yep ..... as before.  A mech guide to the linkage ..... no site nor sound of relays etc

You did compare the title of the post and the title of the guide...

The relays are, at this point, largely irrelevant.

Pending a reply regarding following the guide, then if it's ok with you, I will possibly post a link to the relays... not that it's a secret, but people should be allowed to look for what they seek.

You're all a great help i will report back tomorrow thanks Paul

I'd  agree with you other than the fact intermittent doesn't work ..... sounds electrical to me

[Doctor Gollum]

Ignoring that they don't park correctly

My money is not on the relays...

If it was just that they'd slipped on the motor's taper, the intermittent would still work ...... but park in the wrong place. I never said the relays were fubar'd ....... just that your link didn't  answer the question

[Toledodude1973]

Just changed whole motor and linkage for known good one but no better ,intermittent not working still and doesnt park correctly.
Going to have to try relays i guess but i dont know where they are or which ones? its a 2.6 saloon
Would appreciate more help thankyou Paul

[Doctor Gollum]

Seek and all that...

I had a similar issue and seeing as my car (also a 2.6 model) didn't have the variable intermittent wipe I replaced the tall yellow wiper relay with a vw type 99 unit

[Toledodude1973]

Did yours not park correctly aswell?

[Toledodude1973]

Thanks again ,also for relay layout Doc ,looks like i need no.9 as cam says tall yellow one, i will post a wanted

[cam.in.head]

mine parked ok but mine doesnt have a variable delay just a set amount.the vw 99 relay is a known mod snd is a learning module. you flick up and back to intermittent.then after desired interval you switch intermittent on properly.the relay remembers the time delay and carries  on from there.

[Toledodude1973]

Thanks Cam essex Al is hopefully sorting part

[Toledodude1973]

Essex Al once again came up with the business and supplied FOC( i might add) the tall relay which i've just fitted ,all works correctly intermittent and park position
So thanks all for help OOF working superbly again

I would eat my hat, but the dog just beat me to it

[Toledodude1973]
