It's stepped on Meg's ones - a definite 'click' for each 'speed'.... I think that's what the issue has always been as a potentiometer would make it much easier!

Think i must be being really thick but there's i movement on the wiper stalk i can't workout, I assume pull forward is water spray, so whats the downward click, is it rear wipe?

I'm giving serious thought to R800 stalks they look a lot nicer than the TF ones.
I thought rear wipe on the 800 Fastback was a separate switch but then I might be talking out of my bum.

Good idea, I wonder if you could rig something for a glass rear screen on a soft top?:cjj:

Does it stay down, on the ZS saloon it doesn't and gives a single wipe, this seems to be a standard MGR feature.
