If this works as well as you are all describing I shall be a well happy bunny. I came up the A34 yesterday and with only the one intermittent speed, the drive was a nightmare, in some places the wipers could barely cope, and in others, the intermittent was needed but to be honest, bloody useless. !!!!!!!

Does this over-ride the rain sensors or should it be only fitted to pre rain sensitive models ?

I think you'd have to disable the rain sensor first. Can't remember how that is connected, so can't be sure. I think it's some extra gubbins in the engine bay fuse box to remove.

What I'd like to see is a means of choosing between both the 99 relay and rain sensing wipers, if that makes sense. I know many will argue what's the point of that, but I like the idea of being able to alter the delay if I so wish.

No different than having traction control on-off switchm I reckon. If your auto wipers are being a bit too 'eager' or 'slow' why not have the ability to alter them?

Sadly I have the electricianing abilities of a caveman, so the possibility/wiring of such a system is something that I'm very much in the hands of better minds than mine..

Right, can someone please confirm which relay it is I need to swap for the wipers. flyer0712 mentions the yellow relay....Is this the tall yellow relay that is in the triangular relay box next to the battery. The relays, by the wing and reading from the screen end to front are.....purple, yellow, orange, black, green, green, blue, white, space, brown.
I have the vw relay but it is only a square block, nowhere near as tall as the yellow one I refer to. If I am in the right place, and the right relay, do I just pull the yellow one out and just plug the VW in.
Sorry to sound a numpty, but I don't want my car catching fire !!!!!!!

the one that you can feel click when your wipers are on intermitant

Duh....thanks Andy....I have just found a pic of the relay box on the old site, by Mark. I think I am on the right track
But I will try your trick first. Cheers, mate

I have put a screwdriver in on a little clip at the side, and the yellow relay has come out complete with two big fuses. How do you separate the yellow relay. I can't shift it. Do you stick a screwdriver in and try to prise it off. There are two grey coloured bits on the bottom bit I have tried pressing, but can't see as they do anything.

Its ok.... I have done it. Brute force and ignorance.....
Geez was that a bitch to separate........
