Bought a '99' relay and it's bl**dy marvellous. Quickest mod I’ve ever done. Roll on the rear wiper.

Any chance of a wiring diagram, even if it’s on the back of a fag packet?

Have just modified the rear wiper to get variable intermit.

Easy mod - move 2 wires, add a 12v and ground connection and fit one link.

Biggest hassle is getting the connectors out of the existing relay base.

I'll post the wiring diagram when I have corrected it.

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.

Great work Barney......

Waiting your diagram

OK, call me stupid but...

Got my '99' relay.

Looking under dash, I seem to have three red relays (albeit two slightly paler). Which one is the one to replace?

Cheers!

Awesome work Barney. One question: if we recycle the original relay from the front after the "99" replacement (the AMR relay) and we agree on having the "normal" intermittent setup, is the wiring the same?

James, don't know if this helps as you've probably got more relays with an XS, but here's mine:

Thanks!

Oops - Out to the car NOW! I'd replaced the brown relay on the bottom left! Thought it couldn't be one of the 'big' ones!

Now, what have I messed up by swapping the wrong relay?

OK, you CAN call me stupid!

Great mod, why dont LR do it as standard, £25K + vat and i've got to sort my own wipers out , tight wads.
Should have waited though VW have bought up most brands maybe LR one day, that will upset the purists , reliabilty !!! at last

Just ordered one of the VW relays off the bay.
Now where does this go in a TD5 fusebox?
