Out of interest (no use to me, as I have the - apparently rare and sought after ;D - wheel on the stalk) - what does this magical relay do, exactly?

It is, and works well.

The bit I find annoying is when you want to move the wheel 1 click up or down as the weather has changed, and you have to start over to set it again.

Does it have rain sensor on the screen ?
No
Mine does  :P

...and it works great. Better than the Golf she had.  :y ....and my old 52 plate had it as well.

...so why on earth doesn't this 52 plate have either an intermitent wipe or rain sensor? Surely the wiring is there for rain sensor? Can epc tell what it left the factory with? Must have had one or the other? Neither is just daft...?  Screen is differant as the sun visor tinted area is lower than mine with rs. So wonder if stalk or screen was replaced with the wrong part? Guessing screen...?

It has intermittent wipe but no adjustment of the delay.

I have a 99 relay around somewhere if anyone local wants to try one. It's ultimately destined for the Westfield but there are more pressing concerns with that. ::)
