2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Tonga Green

There's about half a dozen on e-Bay atm, price range from £10 - £14

Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

Just to update this thread slightly, I've just got a Type 99 relay for £13.99 including P&P from eBay, so they are still available fairly cheaply. Mark S

2014 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Corris Grey

Britpart have recently started selling this relay:
http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-LR057366BPPROG

It is actually the Bosch one pictured: part number 0 986 335 058

Fitted the relay, and the programmable function works great... but when the front wash/wipe function is called for, the washers spray, but the wipers don't move

Has anyone got this mod working on recent'ish models? Mine being a 2014 i'm not sure whether this mod still works?

Mine is a late 2013 XS first registered November 30. This mod worked fine for me! Any farther South and I'll need to trade the Defender in for a Landing Craft

2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

Britpart £43?

They're taking the pee!

Go to your local scrap dealer (if you have one) I got one for a pound using the vehicle reference chart and pulled one out of a VW! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

The standard intermittent wipe on all 90/Defenders I've had has been a lot less than 10secs as mentioned very early in this thread. I fitted new relay in Td5 and the difference wasn't that great tbh.
Why didn't they redesign/improve the "stalks" when they had the chance? Replaced two indicator stalks on different cars, headlight flasher function fails.

I realise they are very expensive, but I am quite anal regarding my cars, and I prefer not to have a relay with a VW logo in the fuse box

I have emailed britpart, so will hopefully get confirmation that this is a dodgy relay and get it replaced by rimmers, but if the next is the same I'll try a VW one.

I was quoted for a genuine VW relay at £48 so the britpart one is priced about right

That's the same part as the one I bought (for a tenner more)

Muds website has no mention of the effect on the wash/wipe

Any of these work, from a thread in 2009...Posted by Dgardel, redundant links removed.

Volskwagen code: 357 955 531 or 3B0 955 531
Bosch code: 0 986 335 058
Beru code: 0 900 301 082

To program is easy:
Push down on the w-w lever, have it wipe once, bring it up and wait until you need to wipe again,
then push it down.
It'll use the same wait interval! Very clever, but not obvious.
