A good friend of mine knows his way around a soldering iron so I will get him involved and get back to you all.
I have messaged LittleFeller but he hasn't got my email yet.

Cool man! Let us know how it goes - hopefully just a case of matching pins

That's what I'm counting on, mate. Although I am reading some people say the intermittent wipe function is controlled by some other ICM/ICU or something.. I dunno.

I've got three of these relays at home, I'll take a look too. IIRC in the other thread it was a straight swap??

It's a straight swap for cars using the Bosch wiper relay, our cars use a Mitsuko one or something..

oh i see, now you all have them kicking around in the shed, it wasnt any good sitting in your sheds when i needed one

still never mind, so you all want to join the intermitent wiper club, yes they do work. i have the diagram of which wire goes where, its on my old laptop at work. will take a copy of the file tomorow and post it up. took abit of trial and error but got there in the end, the relay itself is very simple, with that inmind it doest take to much working out.

I was just waiting for a cheap one to turn up

From what I've read, our cars may already have the capability programmed into some internal control unit thing, we just weren't given the hardware to access it, it's like the Nissan/Mitsubishi dial-a-wipe where you twist the end of the stalk to choose wipe timing. Apparently some Honda's had those stalks, I don't know about retrofitting them though.
