You will have Auto wipers I pretty sure of that.

Auto wipers do play up and it normally a sign that the sensor is on its way out. My auto wipers work fine when I use them. Inter will stop when you stop and will speed up when you speed up.

Ah I see,

Sorry I was just confused before as I thought you was being sarcastic. My stork still only has the four settings off, auto, slow and fast so my auto sensor must be duff.

Never bitter. It has helped our campaign to show how tactically inept Steve Kean is.

Where did you get the windscreen sealed and does it make a worthwhile difference?

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. Sad

Could it possibly be that you need new wiper blades?

I'm not 100% sure, but if the wipers aren't clearing the sensor sufficently it will wipe again because it is sensing that there is still water on the screen.

From personal experiance, if they are making noise you may be due a new pair anyway.

Might as well give it a try, cheaper place to start than a new sensor.
I would recommend Aero wipers. ASDA sell them now (Well, my local Asda does) or eBay.

Thanks Martin, i went and got some Bosch aero wipers and they clear the windscreen much better and the auto wipers work a treat now as the old wipers were not clearing the rain off the sensor as they should.
