They seem to be better implemented on Omega's than other cars i've driven TBH.

Thanks -  but do Elite's from 2001 normally have a thumb wheel ?- it seems a bit odd to have no variable intermittent wiper speed.

According to the manual I have it's either timed or rain sensitive, no mention of the variable thumb wheel, however both of my manuals are from 2002 onwards vehicles.

I just use a switch, I like to be in control.... ::) ::) ::)


Well, if you want to be cossetted, the sensors for auto-dip headlights and rain sensors for wipers are available as DIY aftermarket kits in USA...
If I can find details I will post for everyone...

Ah well -- I know that feeling -- but I have gone from 30 odd years in a manual to an auto, my mirror dips for me, the sat nav navigates, cruise (almost) drives --- I feel like being cossetted for a change
