As we were becoming drowsy inside the car , thought id check the exhaust manifold ... all the bolts were loose  :o :o :o All tightened up now and no more exhaust fumes in the car  :)

That's not good :o. Why were they loose?

Droplinks, handbrake adjustment, reverse sensors, photochromatic mirror and swapped out the basic intermittent wiper stalk for the variable one
Did you have to fit a delay/variable timer relay too  :y
Variable uses a different relay to the standard intermittent wipe
