gruntie Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 These things are a straight swap for the standard fixed-interval relay on Defenders - they really are a neat improvement. There's a guy selling them on ebay, here, he's not describing them very well so no-one's bidding. I've had a couple myself which I've stashed away (yes, I really do intend to get out more), but he seems to have a continuing supply. Worth a look.

FridgeFreezer Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 And the box tells you which cars to swipe them from at the scrappy, cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shox Dr Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 How do you adjust the time, without digging for the relay, I've read the instructions on the you picture you posted but it doesn't make much sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Switch intermittent wipe on, switch it off again until you want it to wipe, switch it back on it remembers how long it was off for and repeats until you turn it off again.

Guest diesel_jim Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I just emailed him. cool tip! wonder if they can easily be modified to fit the rear wash wipe on defenders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I just emailed him. cool tip!wonder if they can easily be modified to fit the rear wash wipe on defenders? See no reason why not, you'd just have permanent (Adjustable:)) intermittent wipe on the RWW. wouldn't be hard to wire up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wack61 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I haven't got intermittent at all on my 300 TDI, down is single speed, up is single speed up again is double speed, park is anywhere they happen to stop would this make any difference, is it supposed to have intermittent or does it have a worn out relay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 A 300Tdi should have a standard (ie. fixed time) intermittent function in the down position, and the rest as you describe I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Probably 2 faults. a faulty intermittent relay, lives bhind the fusebox metal panel park switch on the motor, not doing it's job properly you should have 1st slow speed stalk up 2nd fast speed stalk up intermittent wipe stalk down wash push the stalk end & get wash plus 4 wipes.

A new one is pretty cheap and takes about 30 mins to fit. you need to remove the lower corner of the dash to get access to the motor and switch.

Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Dragging this topic back up rather than starting a new one... I would like to fit intermittent wiping to the front of my early 110 (1983). I have a relay from an early disco (think it is a red one with front wiper control written on it) which I hope someone can confirm will do the bulk of what i need. However, my stalk only has MOM down for a single wipe and 2 speeds up. Pressing only does the washers, no wipes). Presumably I need to change the stalk to a later model and add some wiring. Anyone care to point out which stalk would be needed. My wiring is currently a custom / hybrid job so no need to try and keep anything standard, just need to know best parts and minimum wiring requirements needed.

western Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 all the info inc part numbers in the link I posted in a earlier reply above yours is the same as my '89 110 was, I had to change the wiper stalk to the later type as used on 200tdi & onwards models, the wiring is no longer supplied by LR [it's an obsolete part] you will either have to buy the loom from here http://www.autospark...roducts_id=5128 or make one up yourself.
