The wipers vary their speed wipe according to both road speed and readings from the rain sensor.  Ever had a new screen?

No new screen.
I assumed they varied there speed because when driving from Holyhead on Sunday the faster I went the faster the wipers went. But I couldn't understand how the were going really fast on the Monday as it was raining slightly and I was at a red light.

Sounds like a faulty sensor and the dreaded dealer visit :sick:

BTW - I have had a windscreen replacement and the sensor was replaced as it was damaged by the screen fitter (as well as wipers and the outer rubber screen pillar trim :angry:

All replaced and working fine now though :smiley:
