Rain sensing wipers are OFF!!
Finally got fed up enough with the auto wipers to switch them off via the IID. Had an awful drive with them on Thursday, they were either on "normal" or "flat out" when it needed one level less, even with setting at lowest. Looks like I now have standard intermittent wipers with variable "gap" control on the stalk rotary dial in thingie.
And the best thing about the change? It hasn't rained since!!

Oooh, that sounds what I need.
For an IID idiot, how do I go about it..?
New gearbox & TC, 3 x front wheel bearings, belts changed, new oil pump, new battery, new rear prop, new front prop, new front diff, front arb refurbed, front cv boot kit, egr blank and BAS software patch, full rear suspension / drivelive rebuild, new front arms, LED trailer light fix, split charge.
Never had a 107, 90 or 127, but have had most of the rest!

CFF edit, instrument pack, auto wipers = off from doing it today. Was turning off the Hurdigurdie (Scandinavian) lights (needed for Poland) and thought I'd give it a go.
Just follow the instructions on the ipad/iPhone screen and let the device do its thing. I find when it's all whirring and clicking and flashing the best thing to do is close my eyes.
They don't work on my dad's RRS either
Need a favour from a chap with the tool as I don't have such a thing and I'm useless with the his electronic stuff
Spanners I'm ok with

Found there is one down side to knocking off auto wipers, it knocks off auto lights as well!!
Hey ho, back to old school and using the decision making process and switching lights on or off myself.

Since switching them off I've only driven the car in the rain once, setting my own interval using the twiddly dial thing and it worked a treat.

Remember days of old when the handbook said the wiper twiddly thing adjusted the front wiper auto sensitivity, or something.
