when ever i have my wipers on, then switch them off, they insist on an extra wipe, its not really a prob, but its bloody annoying! is this what there meant to do or is there a prob with the switch or relay?

also my hand brake is high & not very good performance, i remember adjusting it up on the shoes in the discs before, but the lever remains high, is there cable adjustment somewhere? & any reasons other than worn hand brake shoes that the performance is crap?

thankyou steve

That is normal for the windy wipers. As far as I can work out the final stroke is to park the wipers - they go a little lower than the normal stroke. I would love to change it but I think it's integral to the control mechanism.

thanks mate, at least i know is normal (if you can call it normal) you would think they could park as soon as there switched off, like all other cars! why an extra wipe :confused: bloody japs!

That always pissed me off too - I also thought I had a fekked relay!

 

It only bothers me now if I just want a single wipe - it is just not possible :slap:

there is an adjustment nut by the handbrake.

look for a split in the handbrake gator underneath look through it and you will see the adjustment nut and bolt ,tighten it up and your handbrake will click to a lower hight
