0 332 209 142 is that the part number for retrofitting rain sensor Al?
It should be the relay you require that replaces the tall one in the engine bay fuse box... Unable to categorically confirm until my new screen arrives... :-\
It's on back order, so best not hold your breath... ::)

Factory equipped cars have two short yellow relays in the engine fuse box... I have had three days off since the Wycombe meet and have yet to look through the wiring diagrams to confirm which does what... It may be that additional wiring and relay is also required,  and until I have a sensor compatible screen fitted to the car, I very much doubt I will find out...

Not currently a priority :-X

Should be plug and play...

Go onto Ebay and acquire the following...

Vectra C autodimming rear view mirror and two piece shroud.
rain sensor from a suitably equipped, ie late Elite Omega,
Wiper relay from same Omega.

Mirror is plug and play, as is sensor, swap the wiper relay and that should be it jobbed :y

No additional wiring required (fitting to facelift MV6)?

I have the 99 learning relay in the 3.2 and traditional dial setup in 2.2.

I prefer, by miles the 2.2  - I find the 3.2 fine on first set. It's re-adjuating it in changeable conditions, I find the 2.2 far better with the dial for a quick change. Rather than cancel, flick, count and set. Just adjust the dial :)

But we all know the original variable intermittent wipe system is far better than the schoolboy first attempt GM slapped on the later Omegas....

The fixed delay intermittent wipe fitted to my 1994 CD was more useful than the random wipe (optimistically called "rain sensitive") fitted to my 2003 Elite  :(
