When I put the wipers on auto they work as they should for the weather conditions but then just stay on constant after three or four swipes, I'm thinking that it's a dodgy relay sticking maybe or has anyone else had this problem? I've recently changed the wiper motor so that's out

Is it raining when you have them on auto ? They can be sensative or not depending on the rain ?

After searching fleabay I've found two types with different plugs, anyone know how I can tell which one it is. I'm in London and live in south Wales so can't actually look and ideal I want the part by the time I get home

    Very easy, yank mirror off which then leaves the two green clips at either end to pull outwards to release from windscreen once connector disconnected.
