When i put the intermittent wipers on the wipers have a mind of their own. Sometimes waits 5 seconds when its raining and then sometimes only 1 second.
It is doing my head in!!
Is it some thing like a faulty sensor?

Think its to do with how fast your going, when mines on intermittent it slows down when im at a standstill.

Have you got auto-wipers?
They will only wipe when rain goes on the sensor fitted to the top of the windscreen.

Yes they are auto wipers. Its bloody annoying when it's only spitting as I have to manually do it by pushing the stalk down. My wipers can make noise if there is not enough water on the windscreen.

Is the auto wiper sensor in the top left hand corner of the windscreen?

It's a hard life having to use a finger to push a piece of plastic. Hope you don't want the window down as you may actually have to move your hand away from the steering wheel
Seriously though, if you don't want auto wipers on, just turn them off. It tells you in the drivers handbook how to do it.
Problem solved.

I think the rain sensor is in the middle of the windscreen near the interior mirror.

Luckily for you and all the other people who don't have one, Peugeot provide it online free of charge

That link is directing me to the handbook page but when I select the correct language it only brings a blank screen, I'm on a iPad so maybe that is the problem :/
