HIGHTOWER Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'll put money on that not being right in the W reg... The late models have a different fuse box, as I said earlier! BTW Squiz, your avatar refers to someone being "to stupid" to see the picture! If it was using correct grammer/spelling, it should say "TOO stupid!" ...Who's stupid, now? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHTOWER Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 WezXL says:it's of a mark 3 granada, scorpio/ultima. not the hideous frog eyed ford scorpio though- - HT - - Fish tank sealent STINKS!!! says:did you have to fit an extra wire, or just the relay?WezXL says:extra wire, and the relay I was wrong about the wire... Oppps! :lol: Sorry for doubting you, Hicksy... I thought you'd done it on the R reg, in your sig, which is needed on some of the lower spec looms! So the relay is different, but the wire needs to be ran! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was using correct grammer/spelling, it should say "TOO stupid!" ...Who's stupid, now? :lol:Ill answer these in reverse order.Anyone that takes an avatar too seriously is stupid Back to matters in hand.... Placing a power wire as shown on the previous page does indeed work.So now that we know that I did the following...Removed the purple and black wire from the same position in a spare GTi dash wiring loom I had.(right length,Colour and connections)And plugged it in where the two gaps were on the wiper stalk block and the fuse box block.I now have variable intermittent front wiper and intermittent rear wiper system that works and parks correctly Many thanks Hicksy for your invaluable info on this mod Give yourself a pat on the back...

Squiz Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Painted the bump strips and repainted the doorhandles and boot lock strip myself.The skirts were the right colour when I got them though.My new wheels look tiny cos they have 15/195/45 tyres on !!but I bought the wheels and tyres for less than the cost of three of tyres as they are brand new pirelli P6000 on them Can change em when I wear them out Upper front strut brace now fitted as well and engine bay nearly got all that weird wax out of it Its beginning to look something like now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
