BPman, the Entreq fuel cooler guard, did you buy the version with, or without stabilizer? Could you install it yourself easily, or is the a job for Autobritt here?

Tks, Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

to get the rear wiper to run delayed - I used the front wiper relay when I replaced it with the programmable variable relay for the front wipers ... does that make sense ?

Ahhh yes. Thought about doing it for ages, was it a complicated job? I'm not into ripping the new defender to bits just yet. Thanks Ravers

to install the front wiper delay relay is easy, but the rear relay needs a few wire changes, do a search on the forum for more details. dgardel is the wiring king !

Embarassed

For normal intermittence (using the OLD front Land Rover relay)

VERY EASY MOD!!!!



Have you a standard/original Land Rover wiper ECU in your hand?








The green-white cable of position 6 of the base must be put on position 1









Test it..............................




..............job done





FOR A MORE REFINED SOLUTION, Thank you to BarneyRubble for adding the VW variable timer to the rear wiper

download here the BarneyRubble pdf

Works like the front - press the switch, let it wipe, switch it off, wait until you want it to wipe again, switch it on, and leave it - the wipers operate on intermit at the time you left between switching off and back on again.

It's an interesting mod (just up my street) but I hardly ever use the rear wiper anyway - not much point, since the security grill makes the window redundant Laughing Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Why use the extra black wire? Is the green/white one too short or can't you fish the connector out of the block?
Sorry if that's a stupid question Embarassed

Moving the cable on the new position you need to change the pin (it is smaller).
