    Thanks. Let me give you more information how it works. The voltage is fed from intermittent wiper switch conn 3 (see below) and it goes to conn A (my unit) which powers the actual regulator. That means cutting that wire but I will test it tmr. The conn from the wiper motor wether its the low or high speed will be grounded or earthed (not sure whats correct) through the relay when it kicks in ( conn B ) The earth from my unit goes of course to any earth point in the car. All that will happen tmr when my girls are away. I will take some pics and and post explanation about colors of wires needed connecting. I still have some blank pcb left and some acid and since I'm not using it very often I might be able to make one or two pcb's if anyones interested.

    Im sorry for that. Im just presenting the idea having in mind the fact that nobody would be interested. I dont want to waste too much time on something that may be ignored from the start. As I said if anyone is interested I can still post more information otherwise I'd shut up and not mention it again. I didnt have much time today and just testing the intetests. Ps ferric chloride is a very cheap substance available even on ebay.

    Hi, again. Lets continue, shall we? I just spent most of the afternoon making the control unit. It required some knowlegde about making the pcb. After designing the pcb and altering the diagram seen below I traced the line on it with nail varnish (best so far). Before I was so fussy I used masking, lasering and sparying it before cooking in acid. Afterwards the pcb looked like this. Not a pretty thing but it works. Then it was time for the best part which is soldering the components. There are a few options for P1/R2C1 relationship but I wont get into the subject of electronics because thats not the case here. I'll just give you the set up that works for me. The relationship between the P1, R2 and C1 gives me the adjusting range 1-29 sec between the wipes. The unit is done and it looks like this All I need to do is connect the potentiometer P1 that adjust the time gap between the wipes and get my hands on the wiring in the car but that will happen tomorrow. The list of components you will need: US1 - SRD-12VDC-SL-C or similar relay D1 - 1N4148 D2 - 1N4001 R1 - 300ohm R2 - 1.2kohm P1 - 100kohm C1 - 470uF C2 - 10nF C3 - 47nF To make a pcb you will need blank sheet like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Copper-Clad-PCB-Printed-Circuit-Board-305-x-203mm-/291106797937?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item43c7513971and ferric chloride. However you can always get it made by a professional company for a couple of quid. I can post the layout I worked out if somebody wants to get their hands dirty. Sorry to be so laconic. My daughter needs attention so need to meet the fatherhood requirements I will post progress soon and if you guys need more info PM me or reply here. Back soon

    Remote central locking... hmm thats complicated. The one I'm doing is actually very simple. You sorta pass the existing control unit with a custom one. You'll see

    Will definitely post first part tmr

    Hello fellow upgraders. I'm just in the middle of a simple, some may say useful project. As you know the intermittent wipe means we have ony one option - one set period of time between the wipes and whatever the rain is doing you cant change it. I like things to be controlled a bit more so I'm going to change that to be able to smoothly adjust the range between around one sec to 10 between the wipes. Not sure about the high range thou. I had that in my previous car and I miss that hugely. If somebody interested I can post it all so you can be more in control... Gee that sounded pathetic... Anyway, sorry about my english and let me know if I should continue this topic; pleasure to share.

    thanks for the input guys. Sounds scary but either way I have to do it sometimes. Using the crappy rear speaker to compensate just doesnt work... obviously.

    I did and speaker too but it looks scary, basicaly no access.

    Hi, everybody. I just need to ask a quick question. Has anybody ever replaced wires for the front speakers? Does it require taking the door off? One of those wires broke after working on and off for last couple of months. I need to get to the inside of that rubber sleeve and replace a section of the wire or just shorten it. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading folks:)

    Looks intense... What about the arches? Did you roll them?
