    Not that this will help you, but it might a little. Post #3 by Gavin R atleast shows a pic of it.

    I'm hazarding a guess here, but maybe it was in an RS 2000 Custom.

    They do if like the RS models they have an intermediate function! It took me ages to figure this wiring out as all the UK / Euro spec wiring diagrams didn't include the intermediate relay bit - finally cobbled it together from an Australian diagram. I'll try and attach the relavant bits here.
    EDIT : Can't do as even reduced file size that is barely legible is too large ! PM me an email address and i'll send them that way!

    Basic models wouldn't normally be equipped - maybe an RS stalk assembly has been used as a replacement in the past?
    I'll get the wiring info over to you tomorrow as its on my other PC.

    I know I didn't say it, but I suppose that was the sort of thing I had in mind really.

    I think a few models had the intermittent wiper function, maybe it was fitted more frequently to later Mk2's?
    Fly is a 1600 Sport and was registered in June 1979, the wiring loom under the dash is original and has the intermittent relay

    Some MK2's had flick wipe where you had to do it manually instead of intermittent and some had neither like the early 1.1 Pops.
